A new study published in Scientific Reports simulates particle creation in an expanding universe using IBM quantum computers, ...

Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider tested whether top quarks, the most massive known elementary particles, comply with ...

Join six leading experts to find out everything we know about the subatomic universe. Take a deep dive into the building ...

Witten: String theory is an attempt at a deeper description of nature by thinking of an elementary particle not as a little point but as a little loop of vibrating string. One of the basic things ...

For over a century, quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity have stood as the cornerstones of modern physics, yet ...

More than a decade of data about the particles zipping around our sun could be used to solve many mysteries, from the ...

After struggling with it, however, Bohr developed complementarity theory. This stated that there was a dual nature to things -- an electron was a wave and a particle, for example -- but we could ...

Boyle carried out an experiment that gave one of the first pieces of experimental evidence for the particle theory. By pouring mercury into a J-shaped tube that was sealed at one end, Boyle was ...

In the process, their experiment included photons in 37 dimensions, taking science even further down this strange quantum ...

Bootstrapping strings Evidence that string theory could be the sole viable “theory of everything” has emerged in a new theoretical study of particle scattering. (Courtesy: iStock/Anadmist) Striking ...
