Real particles are lumps of energy that can be "seen" or detected by appropriate instruments; this feature is what makes them ...

Virtual particles exploit the natural fuzziness of the subatomic world, where if these ephemeral particles live briefly enough, they can also briefly borrow their energy from empty space. The haziness ...

Using subatomic particles that rain down from space to effectively see through the Earth sounds like something from an ...

According to the model, dark matter may have started as particles that were hot, light, massless, and fast. As the universe ...

Below the waves of the Mediterranean, Europe's KM3NeT neutrino telescope is on a cosmic hunt. Towering strings of sensors ...

Very early on in our universe, when it was a seething hot cauldron of energy, particles made of matter and antimatter bubbled ...

I’m lucky to learn firsthand about some of the world’s most cutting-edge technologies. I’ve seen artificial intelligence ace an AP biology test, long before AI became an everyday tool. I’ve seen ...

Researchers suggest that dark matter might subtly color light red or blue as it passes through, revealing traces of its ...

Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as ...
