An illustration conveying the idea of a space-based quantum internet, which would seem, like the hypothetical particle of a tachyon, to outpace light. An illustration ...

Researchers unveil a quantum measurement protocol that tracks the velocity and direction of wave-like dark matter particles.

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. When it comes to understanding the fabric of the universe, most of what scientists think exists is consigned to a dark, murky domain.

The Standard Model of particles and interactions is remarkably successful for a theory everyone knows is missing big pieces. It accounts for the everyday stuff we know like protons, neutrons, ...

"When my student showed me the data I thought she must be wrong," Boston College professor and lead researcher Kenneth Burch told Live Science. "It's not every day you find a new particle sitting on ...
