For nearly a century, every particle in the quantum world has fallen into one of two camps. Bosons, like photons, happily crowd together in the same quantum state, which is why lasers work. Fermions, ...

For nearly a hundred years, every known particle in the universe belonged to one of two camps. Bosons, like photons, can crowd into the same quantum state without limit. Fermions, like electrons, ...

About a trillion tiny particles called neutrinos pass through you every second. Created during the Big Bang, these “relic” neutrinos exist throughout the entire universe, but they can’t harm you. In ...

A mysterious glow of gamma rays at the center of the Milky Way has long hinted at dark matter, but the lack of similar signals in smaller dwarf galaxies has cast doubt on that idea. Now, researchers ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries such as dark ...

Quantum mechanics, developed a century ago, has long challenged conventional views of nature. At its core lies the principle of wave-particle duality, which shows that quantum objects can behave like ...
