A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic ...

"The idea was that protons and neutrons sit in shells, a bit like the electrons in an atom, and nuclear excitations would involve protons and neutrons jumping up and down between those shells," ...

Think of it this way: if you roll a ball toward a wall, it will bounce back. That’s normal physics. But in the quantum world, a tiny particle might sometimes pass straight through the wall, as if the ...

Scientists may have finally uncovered the mystery behind ultra-high-energy cosmic rays — the most powerful particles known in ...
