Theoretical study predicts the existence of particles that are neither bosons nor fermions — and hints at applications in ...

The grandfather paradox is just one of the thorny logical problems that arise with the concept of time travel. But one ...

From the early days of quantum mechanics, scientists have thought that all particles can be categorized into one of two ...

Semi-Dirac fermions, massless in one direction and massive in another, were discovered in ZrSiS crystals, offering exciting ...

Queen’s physicist Dermot Green secures a €2M European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant to advance his ANTIMATTER project, exploring low-energy antimatter interactions with matter and light.

The phenomenon where particles are said to move at speeds faster than light is well known to those who engage in theoretical physics. At the core of this interest is the tachyon – a theoretical ...

For the first time, physicists have been able to measure the geometrical ... such as polarization, spin, and angle. Theoretical (j, m) and real (k, l) measurements of quantum geometry. (Kang et al., ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics ...

Jan. 7, 2025 — Engineers created a smaller, faster and more efficient photonic switch, which leverages principles from quantum mechanics and could accelerate everything from streaming to ...

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 ...

according to researchers looking to solve the riddle of how the Universe is expanding. For the past 100 years, physicists have generally assumed that the cosmos is ...
