Virtual particles may not be real, but they help physicists track how forces move, and allow for incredibly precise measurements in particle physics.

For example, the atomic number of chlorine is 17. Every chlorine atom has 17 protons and 17 electrons. It has 17 positive charges and 17 negative charges, meaning that it is neutral overall. Atoms of ...

The race is on to harness the near-infinite power of nuclear fusion—by building a star on Earth. And scientists are closer ...

Think of it this way: if you roll a ball toward a wall, it will bounce back. That's normal physics. But in the quantum world, a tiny particle might sometimes pass straight through the wall, as if the ...

A single speck of light—captured inside a lab at Oxford—turned the abstract into the tangible. It didn’t just win a prize; it ...

In this video, we explore the origins of the first atom, tracing back to the big bang, where immense energy condensed to form ...

Electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe) are stellar explosions that occur in stars with initial masses around 8–10 times that of ...

So how do you get an electron to float on top of helium? To find out, Ars spoke with Johannes Pollanen, the chief scientific officer of EeroQ, the company that accomplished the new work. He said that ...

For the first time, by studying quantum correlations between triplets of secondary particles created during high-energy ...
