Researchers from Kyushu University, Japan have revealed how a special type of force within an atom's nucleus, known as the three-nucleon force, impacts nuclear stability. The study, published in ...

Scientists show how quantum computing could be a game-changer in our understanding of quantum processes. When two heavy ions collide inside a particle accelerator, they produce a near-perfect fluid ...

Surprisingly, a quintessential equation of quantum mechanics emerges while studying astronomical disks of orbiting material. Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics governing the sometimes-strange ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Imagine trying to prove that 1+1=2, but when you do the calculations, it turns out that the result is off by 0.1%. That scenario is similar to the riddle that’s facing physicists worldwide as they try ...

An extensive search for a hypothetical particle has turned up empty. The sterile neutrino is a proposed subatomic particle that could even be a candidate for the mysterious dark matter, and although ...

STOCKHOLM, Sweden – Two Japanese citizens and an American won the 2008 Nobel Prize in physics for discoveries in the world of subatomic physics, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced Tuesday ...

Everyone loves a superhero (except for a super-villain, of course) so it makes sense to use their physics-defying superpowers to teach physics. So says Barry Fitzgerald at Delft University of ...

When games designer John Coveyou began a crowd-funding page on Kickstarter for a new game that he and his colleagues had designed, he probably never imagined the amount of support it would get.

Canadian Arthur McDonald, who shared the Nobel Physics Prize with Takaaki Kajita of Japan, said Tuesday he hoped their work on neutrinos could pave the way to nuclear fusion power.
