The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

Physicists are quietly rolling out a new generation of simulation codes that promise to do more than crunch numbers. By ...

Physicists are quietly testing an audacious idea: that the mass of everything around us might not come from an invisible ...

A new computational breakthrough is giving scientists a clearer view into how dark matter structures evolve. Dark matter has ...

Axions are hypothetical light particles that could solve two different physics problems, as they could explain why some ...

The Tevatron particle accelerator at Fermilab in Illinois. Is there any more esoteric, almost mystical-sounding scientific field than particle physics? To the layperson, the discipline is shrouded in ...

A new theoretical study suggests fusion reactors could do more than generate energy, they might also produce particles linked to dark matter. Researchers at the University of Cincinnati say they have ...

A couple of weeks ago, fellow Forbes blogger Ethan Siegel took to his keyboard with the goal of making me sigh heavily, writing a post about interpretations of quantum physics calling the idea that ...

Why does quantum physics matter? Quantum mechanics is all around us. We interact with it every time we use a laptop or smartphone. We rely on it to scan UPC labels on our groceries and to find our ...
