The quantum Cheshire cat effect draws its name from the fictional Cheshire Cat in the Alice in Wonderland story. That cat was able to disappear, leaving only its grin behind. Similarly, in a 2013 ...

The study of these fast-moving particles provides significant clues about the early universe.

Muons are a key subatomic particle in the discovery of new physics, but after particle collision, they’re difficult to track.

Physicists have discovered an exotic new state of matter that takes the form of a highly ordered crystal of subatomic particles. The new state of matter, called a "bosonic correlated insulator," could ...
