Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

A jet of particles released by two colliding stars appears to be moving seven times faster than the speed of light — but astronomers blame a cosmic illusion known as superluminal motion. When you ...

Nothing can travel faster than light, or 299,792,458 meters per second. But a certain group of particles acts as if it can, a team of physicists recently concluded, potentially paving the way for a ...

Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, ...

Entanglement is perhaps one of the most confusing aspects of quantum mechanics. On its surface, entanglement allows particles to communicate over vast distances instantly, apparently violating the ...

By tracing solar flare gamma rays, scientists gain new insight into particle behavior that shapes space weather forecasts.

Scientists have observed a unique particle that moves easily one way, yet resists at 90 degrees. These semi-Dirac fermions were observed using their energy signature in a topological metal. Particles ...
