The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible. Tachyons are a ...

Faster-than-light particles have spent decades in physics as both temptation and warning. They offered a way to test the ...

We may not know what dark matter is, but we keep getting whiffs of it. "We are reaching a point where the observational ...

A phase change in the early universe and particles called HYPERs could make dark matter detectable in future experiments. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Space and time looked settled, at least in broad outline. Einstein’s special relativity gave physics a durable framework for ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...

The tachyon particle has an almost mythical air about it in the scientific community, mostly because we don’t know if it actually exists. But if it does, the tachyon has some tantalizing connections ...

Researchers in Birmingham have created the first image of a photon, a lemon-shaped particle of light emitted from the surface of a nanoparticle. The theory that made this image possible, reported Nov.

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 experiment.

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be ...
