The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Long tubes, strong magnets, and bright lasers. Is that all it takes to entice the shyest particles in the universe to reveal themselves? Physicists working on the ALPS II experiment certainly hope so, ...

As far as particles of light are concerned, the collective is more important than the individual. When they get to decide between two states, they will favor the one that many of their fellow ...

The glow from faster-than-light particles gives us a unique way to explore the universe. Nothing can travel faster than light — in a vacuum. But when light slows down, sometimes matter can blaze past ...

"Particles of Color," on display at the Texas Science and Natural History Museum, is shining a light on the fashion ...

Sam Baron receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Hi Ishan! Thanks for your great question. Light can be described both as a wave and as a particle. There are two experiments in ...
