The atypical structure of the radium monofluoride molecule allows physicists to search for answers to some of the universe’s ...

Antimatter particles are mirror versions of matter particles, with the opposite values of properties such as electric charge.

Trapping antimatter is kind of like trying to catch snowflakes with a frying pan — if the snowflakes wanted to blow up the ...

Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Until now, atoms have never been imaged interacting freely in space, but a new technique known as ...

Almost anything is possible — at least for a subatomic particle. One of the many mystifying consequences of quantum mechanics — the rules that govern the behavior of tiny subatomic particles — is that ...

Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the true limits of light’s wave–particle duality. Their results proved ...

Physicists set a new record by linking together a hot soup of 15 trillion atoms in a bizarre phenomenon called quantum entanglement. The finding could be a major breakthrough for creating more ...

News broke on Wednesday that reverberated though the world of science. Well, wobbled is more like it. A New York Times headline declared that new particle research could “rewrite the laws of physics,” ...
