The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible. Tachyons are a ...

Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, revealing light-like particles with a strikingly high-dimensional character. By ...

Physicists want to ramp up their efforts to weigh neutrinos, which are perhaps the most mysterious of all elementary particles. Currently, only one experiment in the world has a shot at making such a ...

The ALPS (Any Light Particle Search) experiment, which stretches a total length of 250 metres, is looking for a particularly light type of new elementary particle. Using twenty-four recycled ...

Physicists have shown that particles produced in collimated sprays called jets retain information about their origins in subatomic particle smashups. Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE ...
