A new particle detector has passed a crucial test, demonstrating it's ready to start investigating quark-gluon plasma, the ...

Whether as the protons and neutrons that help form chemical elements, the photons that we perceive as light or even the flows ...

It has been thought of as many things: a pointlike object, an excitation of a field, a speck of pure math that has cut into reality. But never has physicists’ conception of a particle changed more… ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making significant strides in the realm of physics, demonstrating immense potential across ...

A ghost particle is pretty much a big deal for the same reason, and that's why astrophysicists are trying to trap them. They're excited, and here's why you should be, too.

China's building the world's largest "ghost particle" detector thousands of meters below the South China Sea. What is a ghost particle and why would it need to be detected?

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave ...

Classically, light can be thought of in two ways: either as a particle or a wave. But what is it really? Well, the 'observer effect' makes that question kind of difficult to answer. So before we ...

One of the most entertaining names that I've come across in the physics sector is the "Oh My God Particle." Scientists also refer to this particle as the "ermahgerd particle" (kidding, kidding. It ...
