In a study, physicists now observed a class of quantum particles called fractional excitons, which behave in unexpected ways and could significantly expand scientists' understanding of the quantum ...

A mysterious magnetic property of subatomic particles called muons hints that new fundamental particles may be lurking undiscovered. In a painstakingly precise experiment, muons’ gyrations within a ...

Upon intravenous administration, NPs and NMs enter the vascular system and are distributed to the organs and peripheral tissues of the body. Within the vascular compartment these particles or ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I cover the physics of nothing, everything, and the stuff in between. The new experimental measurement involved the magnetic ...

Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a superposition of multiple states, as popularized by the Schrödinger's cat analogy, ...

Scientists are redirecting their hunt for the universe's missing matter from minute particles to large, star-sized, near-invisible structures. For a long time, it was hypothesized that dark matter, ...
