After years of creating highly specialized software, researchers used supercomputer clusters to finally solve the "100,000-body problem.

Physicists had struggled to explain how quantum mechanics allows two particles to affect each other's behavior. "That these two particles are entangled in a way that, no matter how distant they are ...

In the new paper, the scientists throw further light into the mystery of Majorana physics. For the first time, two well-established techniques were applied simultaneously to the same device. To their ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Scientists at CERN’s LHCb experiment have discovered a new particle made of two charm quarks and one down quark.

Decades after it became clear that the visible Universe is built on a framework of dark matter, we still don’t know what dark matter actually is. On large scales, a variety of evidence points toward ...

On 7 April, researchers announced results from the now-defunct Tevatron collider in Illinois finding that the mass of the W boson is higher than the standard model of particle physics predicts – a ...

CNN — Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger have won the Nobel Prize for physics for their landmark achievements in quantum mechanics -- the study of the behavior of particles and atoms -- ...

The trio won for their experiments with what's known as entanglement -- a mind-boggling phenomenon when two particles behave as one and affect each other, even though they can be at a vast distance to ...
