Latest about Particle Physics
Nobel Prize in physics awarded to 3 scientists who glimpsed the inner world of atoms with tiny light pulses
The trio devised methods for creating the tiniest slices of light.
Antimatter responds to gravity like Einstein predicted, major CERN experiment confirms
The new study marks the beginning of detailed and direct pursuit of the gravitational nature of antimatter, which remains puzzlingly scarce in the universe.
Hypothetical 'dark photons' could shed light on mysterious dark matter
These massive particles could shed light on dark matter by revealing how this mysterious substance interacts with "normal" matter.
$100,000 Breakthrough physics prize awarded to 3 scientists who study the large scale structure of the universe
Mikhail Ivanov, Oliver Philcox, and Marko Simonović won the New Horizons Award for their work on large scale structures — the strands and filaments of our universe which contain buried clues to its most fundamental properties.
Galaxy shapes can help identify wrinkles in space caused by the Big Bang
A new method to detect Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the universe could help measure cosmic distances more accurately.
Scientists discover strange 'singularities' responsible for exotic type of superconductivity
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.
Quantum 'yin-yang' shows two photons being entangled in real-time
The stunning experiment, which reconstructs the properties of entangled photons from a 2D interference pattern, could be used to design faster quantum computers.
Turns out you can transmit sound in a vacuum, just not very far
For the first time, researchers were able to transmit, or "tunnel," sound waves across extremely small distances between two crystals in a vacuum.
