Currently, there are 100 trillion neutrinos flowing through you. Don’t worry though; they hardly interact with matter. In ...

Superconductivity occurs when electrons in a metal pair up and move through the material without resistance. But there may be more to the story than we thought, as scientists in Germany have now ...

For three decades, a riddle has followed neutrinos, the near-weightless particles that stream through Earth by the trillions ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the ...

Measuring up: an electron scattering experiment yields a small proton radius. (Courtesy: Jefferson Lab) For nearly a decade the size of the particle that makes up the bulk of the universe’s visible ...

The electron is responsible for charge and spin transport in conventional metals. In contrast, the existence of well-defined electronic excitations in the metallic state of high-temperature ...

Join us May 18th for our Weekly Physics Colloquium! Guest Speaker, Dr. Scott Dietrich,will be joining us from the Department of Physics at Villanova University. Many people consider electricity as ...

Many elementary particles splinter into shards, but not the electron. At least scientists hadn’t thought so. According to new theoretical research, however, there are extreme conditions under which ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. Most of the coverage of this adopts the framing of talking about this ...

While defects in a diamond are mostly undesirable, certain defects are a quantum physicist's best friend, having the potential to store bits of information that could one day be used in a quantum ...
