Quantum particles have a social life, of a sort. They interact and form relationships with each other, and one of the most ...

The detection process relies on a microwave cavity made of copper that is immersed in a strong magnetic field. According to the theory of axion-photon coupling, axions interacting with virtual photons ...

Washing machines release massive amounts of microplastics into the environment, mostly from worn clothing fibers. Researchers ...

Physicists have done a remarkable job explaining the chaos of the universe with well-behaved equations, but certain situations remain mysterious. Among these are collections of many tiny particles — ...

Researchers at The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) have contributed to a study revealing that conventional theories ...

Physicist Richard Feynman invented them to describe the interactions between real particles. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. This ...

The unprecedented experiment explores the possibility that space-time somehow emerges from quantum information, even as the work’s interpretation remains disputed. Physicists have purportedly created ...

A bimodal distribution often results from a process that involves the breakup of several sources of particles, different growth mechanisms, and large particles in a system. For instance, bimodal ...

Here, a calcite crystal is struck with a laser operating at 445 nanometers, fluorescing and displaying properties of birefringence. Unlike the standard picture of light breaking into individual ...
