A dense network of sensors is looking for the fleeting footprints of neutrinos, the most mysterious in the pantheon of known ...

Accurately modeling irregularly-shaped particles isn’t easy, but a new study found a way to improve a century-old idea.

It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and ...

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

For decades, scientists have explored the enigmatic world of fundamental particles, uncovering the building blocks of our universe. But what if some of these particles, once deemed impossible, ...

This kind of ‘magic’ could lead to a computer revolution.

Dark matter keeps getting blamed for the universe’s big patterns while staying stubbornly out of reach. You cannot see it, touch it, or capture it.

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 ...

About 1.2 miles beneath Antarctica, an underground observatory is hunting for "ghost particles." What it finds could reveal the unseen heart of a distant galaxy. Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer ...

Scientists have observed a unique particle that moves easily one way, yet resists at 90 degrees. These semi-Dirac fermions were observed using their energy signature in a topological metal. Particles ...

It’s three for the price of one. A trio of mysterious high-energy particles could all have the same source: active black holes embedded in galaxy clusters, researchers suggest January 22 in Nature ...
