Are quantum particles polygamous? New experiments suggest some of them abandon long-standing partnerships when ...

When quantum particles work together, they can produce signals far stronger than any one particle could generate alone. This ...

For more than a century, the double-slit experiment has been the sharpest test of what reality is made of, and of whether ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets ...

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time self-induced superradiance in quantum particles, completely flipping what ...
