Scientists are using atomic clocks to investigate some of the universe's greatest mysteries, including the nature of dark matter, in a laboratory. In the process, they say they're bringing cosmology ...

Physicists have produced experimental evidence that anyons, exotic quasiparticles long thought to exist only in ...

How far do atomic bombs spread their radioactive end-products? This question has never been answered conclusively. Except for a few negative statements to soothe the nervous public, the Manhattan ...

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, ...

Researchers at the University of Basel have shown that quantum systems can have antagonistic interactions, too—one agent attracts the other, but the other way around, there is a repulsion. Such ...

GENEVA (Reuters) - An international team of scientists said on Thursday they had recorded sub-atomic particles traveling faster than light -- a finding that could overturn one of Einstein's ...

ALBANY, New York, April 12, 2024 (ENS) – The world’s most exciting cutting-edge Electron-Ion Collider, expected to generate fresh insights into the structure and behavior of atomic particles, will be ...

Atomic batteries powered by radioisotopes were one of the first dreams of the Atomic Age, but the dream has taken a long time to turn into reality. Most atomic batteries have produced too little ...

University College London provides funding as a founding partner of The Conversation UK. Attosecond science, the laser-led study of what happens to matter over very short timescales, could lead to ...

"Atomic clocks bring cosmology and astrophysics down to Earth, enabling searches for ultra-light particles that could explain dark matter in a laboratory." When you purchase through links on our site, ...

Materials scientists are measuring the rolling friction of tiny, micrometer-sized particles. These measurements permit them to better understand everyday products such as concrete. For the first time, ...
