Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

PBSC's Quantum Innovation Center in downtown West Palm Beach will be the county's latest step in making high tech part of its ...

Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...

Scientists saw a quark plowing through primordial plasma for the first time, offering a rare look at the first moments after ...

Hypothetical dark matter stars known as ‘boson stars’ could leave telltale ripples across the cosmos, offering researchers a new way to probe the invisible forces shaping the universe.By Jonathan ...

It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and ...

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction gets a bit murky.

For over a decade, confusion over the size of the proton has held scientists back. Disagreeing measurements of the subatomic particle’s radius meant that scientists couldn’t test one of their key ...

Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, unsettling uncertainties and—perhaps oddest of all—particles that spontaneously spring into being from the ...

A dense network of sensors is looking for the fleeting footprints of neutrinos, the most mysterious in the pantheon of known particles.

NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, published in Chem, provides a simple and reversible method for forming ...

Microplastics have been found accumulating everywhere from our water to our body tissues, but many of the claims have come ...
