Quantum physicists at the Australian National University (ANU) have achieved a major milestone by directly observing atoms ...

One of the most enduring mysteries of particle physics may be finally resolved, two new studies suggest. The oddities of muons, subatomic particles that are relatives of electrons, are starting to ...

The Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully completed the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) and released its first physics results.

The Standard Model of particle physics—the best, most thoroughly vetted description of reality scientists have ever devised—appears to have fended off yet another threat to its reign. The muon is the ...

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.
