Scientists and philosophers have long questioned whether the future of the world is entirely a function of its past. They have wondered whether everything that happens — every wink, idea, smile — is ...

A hidden link has been found between two seemingly unrelated particle collision outcomes. It’s the latest example of a mysterious web of mathematical connections between disparate theories of physics.

Frank Close tells us about the history of particle physics, and what it means that charge in our universe's matter is so closely balanced. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle states that there are limits to how precisely certain pairs of physical properties, like ...

Further research is needed, most notably to determine how wave-particle duality plays out in more complex multipath quantum scenarios. "The mathematics make it look simple, but we're a long way from ...

The physicist César Lattes, who is honored today (July 11) in a Google Doodle, is famous across Latin America for his discovery of the pion — a subatomic particle produced by shockwaves from exploding ...
