At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

This experiment wasn’t meant to discover anything new. But when collisions were filmed at 10,000 frames per second, something ...

Dark matter doesn’t seem to interact with the matter we can see and touch, so scientists look for it in unusual places, like faraway galaxies and underground detectors.

The implications of the breakthrough could ripple through multiple industries. A better understanding of how superconductivity behaves at quantum scales could accelerate the development of ...

UNIDENTIFIED ANNOUNCER: Back to Maye, who throws it down the field. It's caught. KWONG: And this pass - the spiral pass - has actually baffled physicists for decades, including Regina Barber, my ...

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly incompatible views of how exotic particles behave inside quantum matter. In some ...

When the universe first burst into being, all of space was a cosmic cauldron filled with a roiling, fiery liquid of ...

A strange form of matter called a time crystal has fascinated physicists for about a decade. These systems move in repeating ...

After 25 years, Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider—the U.S.’s largest particle collider—has ...

Scientists have uncovered incredible truths about the universe, yet some mysteries still refuse to show us an explanation.

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ...

Long before quantum mechanics existed, a scientist developed a powerful way of describing motion by drawing an analogy between particles and light.
