Max Planck really got the ball rolling for quantum physics by introducing the idea of energy coming in tiny packets, or ...

Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a ...

Neutrinos are cosmic tricksters, paradoxically hardly there but lethal to stars significantly more massive than the sun.

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and ...

The IceCube neutrino detector has allowed researchers to resolve a debate about what types of particles make up ...

An attosecond—or 0.000000000000000001 second—is no time at all for a person. That is not so for electrons, atoms and ...

Some of the faintest, coldest stars in the universe may be powered not by fusion—but by the annihilation of dark matter deep ...

Some faint stars may not burn with fusion but with dark matter itself. These "dark dwarfs" could be the long-awaited clue to what makes up most of the universe.

Ultrasmall CdS nanoparticles were prepared by the size-selective photoetching technique. The smallest size of the CdS nanoparticles was obtained by the irradiation with the monochromatic light having ...
