Physicists have uncovered a path to one-dimensional anyons, exotic particles that defy the boson-fermion divide and could ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

To ensure seamless integration, CERN has built, in an above-ground test hall, a full-scale test stand called the Inner ...

Physicists have produced experimental evidence that anyons, exotic quasiparticles long thought to exist only in ...

We have known for several decades that the universe is expanding. Scientists use multiple techniques to measure the present-day expansion rate of the universe, known as the Hubble constant. These ...

Immediately after the Big Bang boomed, the Universe was a trillion-degree ' soup ' of unimaginably dense plasma. In a ...

The element cobalt is considered a typical ferromagnet with no further secrets. However, an international team led by HZB researcher Dr. Jaime Sánchez-Barriga has now uncovered complex topological ...

We have known for several decades that the universe is expanding. Scientists use multiple techniques to measure the present-day expansion rate of the universe, known as the Hubble constant. These ...

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction gets a bit murky.

Accurately modeling irregularly-shaped particles isn’t easy, but a new study found a way to improve a century-old idea.

It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and ...
