The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible. Tachyons are a ...

This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if ...

A team of quantum physicists has taken a concept that once lived purely in equations and turned it into hardware reality, creating a single particle of light that behaves as if it occupies 37 distinct ...

Classically, light can be thought of in two ways: either as a particle or a wave. But what is it really? Well, the ‘observer effect’ makes that question kind of difficult to answer. So before we get ...

ALICE collaboration identifies three-phase process that allows particles to form despite energetically unfavourable ...

Is light made of waves, or particles? This fundamental question has dogged scientists for decades, because light seems to be both. However, until now, experiments have revealed light to act either ...
