But only in the last 70 years have we known for certain they were there. In 1956, physicists Clyde Cowan and Frederick Reines ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

For the first time, physicists have watched a beam of positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter ...

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

Muons are getting a move on. In a step toward new types of particle physics experiments, scientists cooled and then accelerated a beam of muons. The subatomic particles, heavy cousins of electrons, ...

In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted gave a demonstration on electricity to a class of advanced students at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Using an early battery prototype, he looked to see what ...

Scientists have successfully developed a pocket-sized particle accelerator capable of projecting ultra-short electron beams with laser light at more than 99.99% of the speed of light. To achieve this ...
