If I can understand the particle in a box, I can understand quantum mechanics, which means, maybe, I can understand, like, you know, life. This notion popped into my head three years ago, and it’s ...

Plasma is a state of matter that emerges when a gas is heated to sufficiently high temperatures, prompting some electrons to ...

NEWPORT NEWS, VA – An elusive particle that first formed in the hot, dense maelstrom of the early universe has puzzled physicists for decades. Following its surprise discovery in 2003, scientists ...

Harnessing the strange properties of the quantum world for real-world use is the key to the future. Quantum computers work at ...

In February 2023, a cosmic particle detector housed deep in the Mediterranean Sea recorded the arrival of a neutrino with approximately 20 to 30 times more energy than any other neutrino documented ...

They used a nanoscale particle made of glass levitated in a vacuum and cooled it to the lowest possible energy level to reduce its uncertainty. After making sure its trapping potential was optimally ...
