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

What if particles don't slow down in a crowd, but move faster? Physicists from Leiden worked together and discovered a new state of matter, where particles pass on energy through collisions and create ...

It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and other complex materials. But a team of Yale researchers led by Professor ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

The photograph, titled “Underwater Hunting,” was a finalist for the 2025 Global Physics Photowalk. The competition, held ...

After Higgs Boson: Physics’ Next Move to Understand the Universe It’s been more than a decade since the European Organization for Nuclear Research (known as CERN) discovered the Higgs Boson, using ...

Time crystals, a collection of particles that "tick"—or move back and forth in repeating cycles—were first theorized and then ...

Physicists have invented a 'quantum flute' that, like the Pied Piper, can coerce particles of light to move together in a way that's never been seen before. University of Chicago physicists have ...

A devastating fire followed by an intense rainstorm triggered mudslides in Southern California in 2018 that claimed 23 lives. New findings elucidate the physics behind the deadly disaster that may ...
