The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible. Tachyons are a ...

Scientists mapped the magnetic field inside a vacuum with unprecedented accuracy. Results will be used in an experiment to shed light on the Standard Model of particle physics. As scientists await the ...

A team of quantum physicists has taken a concept that once lived purely in equations and turned it into hardware reality, creating a single particle of light that behaves as if it occupies 37 distinct ...

This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if ...

Shini introduces the idea of Quantum Mechanics and how it helps us understand light. What is light? That is something that has plagued scientists for centuries. It behaves light a wave... and a ...

There was a huge amount of excitement when the Higgs boson was first spotted back in 2012—a discovery that bagged the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2013. The particle completed the so-called standard ...

No sooner had the radical equations of quantum mechanics been discovered than physicists identified one of the strangest phenomena the theory allows. “Quantum tunneling” shows how profoundly particles ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...
