Physicists have made a breakthrough with lasers. They've engineered a spiral laser beam and used it to create a whirlpool of hybrid light-matter particles called polaritons.
Scientists have announced that they successfully transmitted twisted light over a large distance outdoors for the very first time.
Last year, CERN announced that it had discovered a new elementary particle, the Higgs particle, also long known as the 'God particle.' Now, scientists are taking a second look at the finding and believe that this particle wasn't the Higgs particle at all and may just look like it.
Physicists have been searching for dark matter particles for years. Now, though, scientists have announced that researchers may want to consider looking for candidate particles that are far more massive than the tiny, exotic particles that are currently being studied.
Scientists may have found a way to establish a strong connection between two single photons with the help of a glass fiber.
The theory of parallel universes has long persisted in quantum science. Now, a team of researchers has a radical new theory when it comes to the existence of, and the interactions between, parallel worlds.
Could the wave function of an electron be divided? That may just be the case. While electrons are elementary particles, which means that they are essentially unbreakable, scientists have found that the electron's quantum state can be separated into many parts.
Scientists have taken a closer look at prehistoric pieces of art and have found that they may have been inspired by the behaviors of sound waves behind misinterpreted as "supernatural."
Physicists may have uncovered new important clues about the nature of our universe. They've made important discoveries concerning Bs meson particles, which may explain why the universe contains more matter than antimatter.
Scientists may have made the first ever direct detection of dark matter, the mysterious material that has long puzzled physicists. The findings could mean a whole new way to look at the universe
Scientists have discovered a new subatomic particle that could shed light on the fundamental force of nature that binds the nuclei of atoms. The particle will provide greater understanding of the strong reaction that's found within the protons of an atom's nucleus.
The 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics has officially been awarded to Isamu Akasaki of Meijo University in Japan and to Hiroshi Amano of Nagoya University in Japan and to Shuji Nakamura of the University of California.
