Particle Physics

Superconductors that work at temperatures much higher than absolute zero have befuddled scientists since they were discovered. A new theory might be about to change that.

The stunning experiment, which reconstructs the properties of entangled photons from a 2D interference pattern, could be used to design faster quantum computers.

For the first time, researchers were able to transmit, or "tunnel," sound waves across extremely small distances between two crystals in a vacuum.

Astronomer Carl Sagan once said that humanity is "made of star stuff." In a new video, astrophysicist Suzanna Randall explains what that actually means and where the elements in our body come from.

A new type of chemistry performed at very cold temperatures on very small particles enables quick, precise reactions.

The transparent, chargeless quasiparticle could shed more light on the underlying mechanics of superconductivity

The discovery promises to spark a revolution in physics, but more results are needed to know for sure.

Meet the 'bubbletrons' — theoretical particle accelerators that may have helped build the universe as we know it.

Astronomers have detected high-energy neutrinos coming from within our Milky Way galaxy, potentially opening up an exciting new window of research.

By shining a strong beam of light through two chemical compounds, scientists discovered a unique new state of matter made of particles called excitons.
