In the new paper, the scientists throw further light into the mystery of Majorana physics. For the first time, two well-established techniques were applied simultaneously to the same device. To their ...

Physicists had struggled to explain how quantum mechanics allows two particles to affect each other's behavior. "That these two particles are entangled in a way that, no matter how distant they are ...

What Are Atmospheric Aerosols Exactly Aerosols refer to fine solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere, where ...

Decades after it became clear that the visible Universe is built on a framework of dark matter, we still don’t know what dark matter actually is. On large scales, a variety of evidence points toward ...

Exotic subatomic particles called excitons have been trapped and cooled to the point they formed a giant wave of matter, physicists report. Excitons exist in materials called semiconductors, which ...

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 ...

On 7 April, researchers announced results from the now-defunct Tevatron collider in Illinois finding that the mass of the W boson is higher than the standard model of particle physics predicts – a ...

A green spectacle. With protective eyewear, ISTA PHD student Andrea Stöllner takes a glimpse into the experimental chamber (in the foreground) where two laser beams trap a single particle. One ...

Scientists are baffled by solid gold particles found in Norway spruce needles. Previously thought impossible, this discovery ...

The trio won for their experiments with what's known as entanglement -- a mind-boggling phenomenon when two particles behave as one and affect each other, even though they can be at a vast distance to ...
