Dark matter may consist of two particles, explaining why only the Milky Way shows a strange gamma-ray signal while smaller ...

In the strange and fascinating world of quantum mechanics, particles have long been sorted into just two types: fermions and bosons. These labels help explain how matter forms and how forces work.

Physicists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) announced on 5 July that they had observed three exotic new types of particles that had never been seen before—shining a light into ...

From the early days of quantum mechanics, scientists have thought that all particles can be categorized into one of two groups — bosons or fermions — based on their behavior. “We determined that new ...

A new type of radiofrequency trap can capture particles with extremely different requirements and could theoretically hold ...

Nearly every object we interact with in our lives has a mass, but where does this mass come from? Modern physics says matter ...

Scientists have created “acoustic holograms” that can assemble matter into 3D objects, using just sound. The technique works with various types of particles and even living cells, allowing for a new ...
