With the rise of quantum computers, the security of our existing communication systems is at risk. Quantum computers will be ...

Photons are particles of light, or waves, or something like that, right? [Mithuna Yoganathan] explains this conundrum in more detail than you probably got in your high school physics class. While ...

The Large Hadron Collider may soon uncover the secrets of dark photons. Should we be scared? (Spoiler: no). Back in the summer of 2022, TikTok lost its mind over news that the Large Hadron Collider — ...

The first direct visualization of the shape of a photon has been created. These particles of light are impossible to photograph, but physicists at the University of Birmingham have now calculated ...

Light is fast, but travels in long wavelengths and interacts weakly with itself. The particles that make up matter are tiny ...

Photons are particles of light, or waves, or something like that, right? [Mithuna Yoganathan] explains this conundrum in more detail than you probably got in your high school physics class. While ...

A new study suggests dark matter could subtly tint or polarize light, leaving faint color clues that next-generation ...

Scientists working on CERN’s Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment have published the latest data in their search for a long-lived exotic particle known as the dark photon. Dark photons (also called ...

In 1964, physicist John Bell formulated what became known as Bell's Theorem, showing that if quantum mechanics is correct, ...
