Virtual particles may not be real, but they help physicists track how forces move, and allow for incredibly precise ...

Think of it this way: if you roll a ball toward a wall, it will bounce back. That’s normal physics. But in the quantum world, a tiny particle might sometimes pass straight through the wall, as if the ...

Scientists may have finally uncovered the mystery behind ultra-high-energy cosmic rays — the most powerful particles known in ...

“The mass and the antiparticle nature of neutrinos can be studied by measuring the radioactive beta and double-beta decays of ...

The adage goes “like mother like daughter,” and in the case of Irene Joliot-Curie, truer words were never spoken. She was the ...

A single speck of light—captured inside a lab at Oxford—turned the abstract into the tangible. It didn’t just win a prize; it ...

Irene Curie was born in Paris, France, in 1897. In an unusual schooling setup, Irene was one of a group of children taught by ...

Californian John Martinis won a Nobel Prize for physics work he did decades ago. Today, he's on a quest to create the fastest ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2025 honors scaled-up quantum physics—while sidestepping controversies swirling around quantum ...

When astronauts returned from NASA's final Apollo moon mission in 1972, some of the samples they collected were sealed and ...

The FDA does not approve CBD products, so it’s up to consumers to sort out good from bad as they shop for CBD. Many CBD products are not accurately labeled, so it’s important to choose a product that ...
