A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world.

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not ...

Neutrinos may be nearly invisible, but they play a starring role in the Universe. Long-standing anomalies had hinted at a ...

As the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology draws to a close, Margaret Harris revisits some of the year’s ...

But the Big Bang theory predicts that about 5% of the universe's contents should be atoms made of protons, neutrons and ...

What is the nature of dark matter? A new experiment led by Columbia University physics professors aims to find out.

Theoretical physics is the development of mathematical formalisms and computational protocols for describing all aspects of objects found in the world around us and their interaction. This can involve ...

Atomic and molecular physics it the study of the properties, dynamics and interactions of the basic (but not fundamental) building blocks of matter. A crucial component of this is understanding the ...

Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily life, doing work on something over and over usually makes it warmer. You ...
