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.

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

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,” ...

Inscribed on an Italian family’s 15th century coat of arms and decorating an ancient Japanese shrine, the Borromean rings are symbolically potent. Remove one ring from the trio of linked circles and ...

As they probe deeper into the heart of the atom, discovering ever smaller and more mysterious particles and particles within particles, scientists have succeeded in bringing the once stable world of ...
