Scientists are unlocking new secrets of the universe with tiny particles called plasmons. These plasmons allow researchers to confine powerful electromagnetic energy within spaces smaller than a grain ...

It was a head-spinning discovery. In 2018, researchers in Japan claimed to find concrete evidence of an elusive particle, a Majorana fermion, in a quantum spin liquid called ruthenium trichloride.

As SNS celebrates two decades of discovery, its story is far from complete. Building on the foundation of reliability, power ...

CERN, the scientific research organization behind the world’s largest particle physics laboratory, has opened a quantum networking lab. At an event celebrating the lab’s launch, CERN teamed with Dutch ...

Traditional particle accelerators, including radiofrequency linear accelerators and synchrotrons, have pushed physics forward for decades. They are also expensive, physically large, and limited in how ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most ...

In 1905, Albert Einstein proposed his most revolutionary idea that, instead of the longstanding theory of light being waves OR particles, light can have both wave AND particle properties. Applying ...

Quantum research at The University of Texas at Austin could lead to faster, more compact computer memory, among other things. Image: Ella Maru Studio. You probably don’t think about quantum mechanics ...

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors can also be used as highly accurate particle detectors, and they have found the optimal nanowire size for high detection ...
