Matter can be both wave and particle. If you take the particle route, these subatomic particles are what you could say the universe and everything in it is made of. There are many ways to further ...

In his book The Mathematical Universe, mathematician William Dunham wrote of John Venn’s namesake legacy, the Venn diagram, “No one in the long history of mathematics ever became better known ...

Don Lincon, a senior scientist at the U.S. particle physics laboratory Fermilab, describes bosons as “puppies of the subatomic world” because you can have an unlimited number of bosons in the ...

Scientists have come a step closer to understanding how collisionless shock waves -- found throughout the universe -- are able to accelerate particles to extreme speeds. Scientists have come a ...

There is one notable exception to this strict rule of quantum-state segregation. Restricted to just two dimensions, some materials can give rise to a particle-like behavior that breaks the statistical ...
