Evidence of this quantum layer may be coming soon. Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Physicists are still puzzling over ...

Real particles are lumps of energy that can be "seen" or detected by appropriate instruments; this feature is what makes them ...

Virtual particles exploit the natural fuzziness of the subatomic world, where if these ephemeral particles live briefly enough, they can also briefly borrow their energy from empty space. The haziness ...

Mayly Sanchez is the Wyatt-Green Chair of Physics at Florida State University and served as one of four liaisons who helped ...

It is once again Nobel Prize season, and this year’s top prize in physics honours three quantum physicists for their discovery of “macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling an ...

Below the waves of the Mediterranean, Europe's KM3NeT neutrino telescope is on a cosmic hunt. Towering strings of sensors ...

Gravity and quantum physics interact at the event horizons of black holes, though physicists don’t understand all the details. A new theoretical study has proposed that very small black holes, dubbed ...

On February 13, 2023, a single subatomic particle zipped across the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Sicily, triggering thousands of sensors. This neutrino, or“ghost particle,” is the most energetic ...

Researchers suggest that dark matter might subtly color light red or blue as it passes through, revealing traces of its ...
