When the universe first burst into being, all of space was a cosmic cauldron filled with a roiling, fiery liquid of ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Some things are easier to achieve if you're not alone. As researchers from the University of Rostock, Germany have shown, ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

Spin correlations within a particle collider may help crack one of the biggest mysteries known, said physicist Zhoudunming Tu.

For decades, scientists have explored the enigmatic world of fundamental particles, uncovering the building blocks of our universe. But what if some of these particles, once deemed impossible, ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...

In its first moments, the infant universe was a trillion-degree-hot soup of quarks and gluons. These elementary particles ...

A group of fundamental particles, long theorised but thought to be physically impossible, might exist after all. Known as paraparticles, they could one day have exotic applications if we ever manage ...

Physicists may have yet another fundamental particle left to discover. When physicists at the Large Hardon Collider discovered the Higgs boson back in 2012, they’d found the last missing piece of the ...

Some of the most fundamental questions about our universe are also the most difficult to answer. Questions like what gives matter its mass, what is the invisible 96 percent of the universe made of, ...
