Researchers have, for the first time, described the properties of one-dimensional anyons and outlined how these particles can be observed using existing experimental setups.

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 ...

A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the ...

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 ...
