Scientists have observed a unique particle that moves easily one way, yet resists at 90 degrees. These semi-Dirac fermions were observed using their energy signature in a topological metal. Particles ...

Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to ...

What if particles don't slow down in a crowd, but move faster? Physicists from Leiden worked together and discovered a new state of matter, where particles pass on energy through collisions and create ...

New study reveals how quantum entanglement is transferred in ultrafast photoionisation experiments, offering us insights into how quantum information develops from microscopic to macroscopic scales ...

Subatomic particles, gravity wells and the beginning of the universe – these are difficult and mysterious concepts that are better understood with storytelling and metaphor. That's exactly theoretical ...

In the supplemental material the experimental setup is shown (see top image), which is designed to make the individual iron-coated polymer particles rotate. The particles are called Janus particles ...

We may never beam ourselves off the planet. But quantum teleportation is poised to bring about a new era of computing—and revolutionize our understanding of the subatomic world. This composite photo ...

When NASA’s Stardust mission flew through a comet’s tail, it attempted something never done before — catching particles moving nearly 19 times faster than the speed of sound. At those speeds, even ...
