Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don't always follow the rules of the physical world. They can ...

Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of ...

Empty space, despite how we think of it, may not be as empty as we assume. Although we cannot detect the virtual particles present in empty space, their presence is necessary to predict, ...

A conjecture called superdeterminism, outlined decades ago, is a response to several peculiarities of quantum mechanics: the apparent randomness of quantum events; their apparent dependence on human ...

A complete survey of all the particle and antiparticle activity that goes on during the Sun’s 11-year cycle has found previously unknown ways these particles behave. Cosmic rays coming from outside ...

In a study, physicists now observed a class of quantum particles called fractional excitons, which behave in unexpected ways and could significantly expand scientists' understanding of the quantum ...
