Almost 100 years ago, a revolutionary discovery was made in the field of physics: microscopic matter exhibits wave properties. Over the decades, more and more precise experiments have been used to ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

Since November, a physics experiment called the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS II) has been looking for components of dark matter--the primary "stuff" of which the universe is made. Conducted from ...

As a central hub for scientific exploration, CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is dedicated to probing the enigmatic particles that could potentially elucidate the mystery of dark ...

The physicists who run the world’s most sensitive experimental search for dark matter have seen something strange. They have uncovered an unexpected excess of events inside their detector that could ...

"If you think about it like a radio, the search for dark matter is like tuning the dial to search for one particular radio station. Our method is like doing a scan of 100,000 radio stations." When you ...

(Nanowerk News) Light travels at a speed of about 300,000,000 meters per second as light particles, photons, or equivalently as electromagnetic field waves. Experiments led by Hrvoje Petek, an H.K.

It sounds like science fiction to say there’s invisible, undetectable stuff all around us, and it doesn’t help that it has the spooky name of dark matter. But there’s plenty of evidence that this ...

A quantum gas with two types of atoms has been remotely created in a microgravity environment. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

Nothing is certain in life except death, taxes, and—a physicist might add—the values of the fundamental constants. These are quantities, such as the speed of light or the mass of the electron, which ...

Ah, yes, the three states of matter: Solids, liquids, and gases. What a simple way to understand our physical world. Of course, if you remember a bit of high school science, you probably recall a ...
