Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don't always follow the rules of the physical world. They can exist in two places at once, pass through solid barriers and even ...

In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She calculated that collisions involving three different types of subatomic ...

The research, presented in two papers in Physical Review A, describes adjustable exchange statistics and a method to map them. It extends a concept once confined to two-dimensional materials into an ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

Riccardo Maria Bianchi is a member of the international ATLAS Collaboration and co-author of the experiment's results. A former CERN Fellow, he currently has a "User" affiliation with CERN, When you ...

Dipangkar Dutta receives funding from US Dept. of Energy and NSF. A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What ...

China is nearing completion of an advanced facility to measure neutrinos, the smallest subatomic particles known to physicists. Its underground central sphere will soon be sealed off and filled with ...
