New subatomic particle discovery may challenge the Standard Model and explain why matter dominates over antimatter in the ...

Dark matter may have started as light-like particles that abruptly became heavy—a cosmic twist rooted in spin and ...

Researchers propose a new theory for the origin of dark matter, the invisible substance thought to give the universe its shape and structure. Their mathematical models show that dark matter could have ...

Plans are underway to create more powerful particle accelerators, whose collisions will unleash even larger subatomic storms. How will researchers sift through the chaos? The answer may lie in ...

If photons possess more quantum states than expected, it would overhaul our understanding of all particle physics – and now physicists have identified a way to test this radical idea in an ...

Axions, hypothetical subatomic particles that were first proposed by theoretical physicists in the late 1970s, remain among ...

“When I first tried looking at this event, my program crashed,” says Coyle, a physicist at the Centre for Particle Physics of Marseille, France. KM3NeT had detected a neutrino from space that ...

A single, super-energetic subatomic particle left a sparkling trail of light in the depths. And it did so right in the middle of an odd sort of telescope that was partway through construction.

Unlike binary bits, qubits (quantum bits) can be in a superposition – a phenomenon that occurs at the subatomic scale, in which objects have no clearly defined state, and are abstractedly ...
