Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Physicists have taken a step that sounds like science fiction: they have coaxed light into behaving as a “supersolid,” a ...

Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, ...

By tracing solar flare gamma rays, scientists gain new insight into particle behavior that shapes space weather forecasts.

Nothing can travel faster than light, or 299,792,458 meters per second. But a certain group of particles acts as if it can, a team of physicists recently concluded, potentially paving the way for a ...

Scientists have observed a unique particle that moves easily one way, yet resists at 90 degrees. These semi-Dirac fermions were observed using their energy signature in a topological metal. Particles ...

About 80% of the universe's mass is thought to consist of dark matter. Yet, little is known about the composition and structure of the particles that make up dark matter, presenting physicists with ...

Entanglement is perhaps one of the most confusing aspects of quantum mechanics. On its surface, entanglement allows particles to communicate over vast distances instantly, apparently violating the ...
