According to quantum mechanics, the physics theory that describes the zoo of subatomic particles, all matter can be described as both particles and waves. But is it real? When you purchase through ...

As we gaze ever farther into the outer reaches of the universe, we learn more about its origins and ultimate fate. There's one major missing piece of the puzzle: dark matter. Despite making up most of ...

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

The twenty-first century has undoubtedly been the era of quantum science. Quantum mechanics was born in the early twentieth century and has been used to develop unprecedented technologies which ...

Photons are particles of light, or waves, or something like that, right? [Mithuna Yoganathan] explains this conundrum in more detail than you probably got in your high school physics class. While ...

Physics has a bit of a messy problem: There's matter missing in our universe. Something is there that we can't see, but scientists can detect. "When we look at how stars move in galaxies, they move as ...

A new discovery suggests gravitational fields can enable matter to become quantum entangled — and that's even if the concept ...

An international research group has now made significant progress in the further development of compact plasma accelerators, considered a promising technology for the future: With two complementary ...

A team of researchers has proposed a novel way to search for dark matter: in the perturbations of spacetime itself. The team pored over data from the third observing run of the Laser Interferometer ...
