In a rare global collaboration, scientists from Japan and the United States joined forces to explore one of the universe’s ...

As a kid, did you ever play that game Guess Who? If you haven't, it's actually kinda fun. You have two players, each with a board in front of them. On the board are a bunch of flip cards with ...

Neutrinos are known as the "ghost particles" as they can travel through matter ... the data suggests that this might be a ...

STOCKHOLM — Three scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called quantum tunneling that enabled the ultrasensitive ...

Scientists still don’t know what dark matter is. It doesn’t interact with any electromagnetic force or regular matter except through the gravitational force it exerts. A research team has a come up ...

John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis’s experiments in the 1980s proved that the strange laws of quantum mechanics could govern not just subatomic particles but entire circuits visible to the ...

Physicists have worked out how to make beams of muons without using a huge particle accelerator 1. Muons are subatomic particles that form when cosmic rays collide with particles in the Earth’s upper ...

Producing the subatomic particles called muons is now a lighter lift than ever before. Several teams of researchers have generated muons using small particle accelerators driven by lasers. Typically, ...

The story so far: Quantum mechanics says that particles can sometimes cross barriers they don’t have the energy to climb, like boring through a mountain instead of scaling it first. This process, ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum tunneling and energy quantization in an electrical ...

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called quantum tunneling that enabled the ultra-sensitive ...
