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

Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a superposition of multiple states, as popularized by the Schrödinger's cat analogy, ...

Muons are a key subatomic particle in the discovery of new physics, but after particle collision, they’re difficult to track.

Somehow, neutrinos went from just another random particle to becoming tiny monsters that require multi-billion-dollar facilities to understand. And there’s just enough mystery surrounding them that we ...

The 2026 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics recognizes members of the Muon g-2 Collaboration, a team of more than 200 ...

Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don't always follow the rules of the physical world. They can exist in two places at once, pass through solid barriers and even ...

Physicists have discovered an exotic new state of matter that takes the form of a highly ordered crystal of subatomic particles. The new state of matter, called a "bosonic correlated insulator," could ...
