Well, it's July 12, which means (a) the Steam Summer Sale is over and (b) it's really hot outside in the northeastern U.S.

In physics, there are two great pillars of thought that don't quite fit together. The Standard Model of particle physics ...

Enrique Rico Ortega and Sofia Vallecorsa explain how quantum computing will allow physicists to model complex dynamics, from ...

However, the problem with string theory is that it is so flexible that it can explain almost anything, making it nearly ...

Typically, when a particle — the basic building block of matter — and an antiparticle — its identical twin but with an opposite charge — collide, they will annihilate each other, releasing a burst of ...

Typically, when a particle and its antiparticle collide, they would destroy each other and release a large amount of energy, but Majorana fermion is an exception to this rule. After more than eight ...

Quantum mechanics looks at how things work at the atomic and subatomic levels, where particles behave in ways that seem ...

The particle itself is called a Majorana fermion, meaning it acts as its own antiparticle, akin to a coin that has heads on both sides. Identifying such a particle would directly contradict what ...
