Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

A team of quantum physicists has taken a concept that once lived purely in equations and turned it into hardware reality, ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...

Spencer Axani, assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is the inventor of CosmicWatch, a portable, low-cost particle detector that tracks muons, invisible particles that ...

Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped ...

A new study takes the GHZ paradox, which describes how quantum theory can't be described by local realistic descriptions, to ...

Experimental particle physicists working at the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory have found ...

Scientists have produced the firmest evidence yet of so-called sterile neutrinos, mysterious particles that pass through matter without interacting with it at all. The first hints these elusive ...
