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 ...

Programmable cell‑like particles seek out drug‑resistant bacteria, inject lethal payloads, and spare beneficial microbes.

Theoretical physicists have proposed the existence of a new type of particle that doesn’t fit into the conventional classifications of fermions and bosons. Their “paraparticle,” described in Nature in ...

A mysterious glow of gamma rays at the center of the Milky Way has long hinted at dark matter, but the lack of similar ...

Cherenkov radiation is a form of energy that we can perceive as a blue glow emitted when the electrically charged particles that compose atoms (i.e. electrons and protons) are moving at speeds faster ...
