Using a groundbreaking new technique, researchers have unveiled the first detailed image of a photon — a single particle of light — ever taken.

While gluons are responsible for generating most of the visible mass in the universe, their role inside nuclei remains poorly ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

A photon is a particle of light. Light (and matter) exists both as a particle and as a wave. This duality discovery was the solution to millennia of debate, when it became obvious from experiments ...

If photons possess more quantum states than expected, it would overhaul our understanding of all particle physics – and now physicists have identified a way to test this radical idea in an ...

In a first, scientists have successfully teleported a photon - particle of light - over a distance of six kilometres, an advance that may enable secure communication without having to worry about ...

This dynamic interaction is similar to the quantum world, where energy from the quantum vacuum is omnipresent, limitless, and ...

The first direct visualization of the shape of a photon has been created. These particles of light are impossible to photograph, but physicists at the University of Birmingham have now calculated ...

But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the ...
