Physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) have discovered a completely new type of quantum entanglement, the spooky phenomenon that binds particles across any distance. In particle collider ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

Exotic hypothetical particles known as axions could potentially be produced inside a nuclear reactor, something The Big Bang ...

An analysis of several experiments aimed at detecting the mysterious neutrino has identified a hint of a crack in the ...

A crucial number that rules the universe goes big in a strange quantum material. The fine-structure constant is about 10 times its normal value in a type of material called quantum spin ice, ...

A mysterious magnetic property of subatomic particles called muons hints that new fundamental particles may be lurking undiscovered. In a painstakingly precise experiment, muons’ gyrations within a ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...
