Quantum Mechanics

The setting of the experiment, dubbed "Wigner's Friend," is not too difficult. You begin with a quantum system that is in superposition, which implies that both of its states exist concurrently up to the point of measurement. In this example, the polarisation (the axis on which a photon spins) is both horizontal and vertical.

Physicists say they've found evidence in data from Europe's Large Hadron Collider for three never-before-seen combinations of quarks, just as the world's largest particle-smasher is beginning a new round of high-energy experiments.

A ground-breaking study published in the European Physical Journal C, titled "A warped scalar portal to fermionic dark matter", has provided tantalizing evidence for the existence of a fifth dimension.

Scientists are trying to work out if a strange new particle, dubbed a “ghost particle”, has been detected at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland.

A British student has used an ordinary camera and tripod to capture a prizewinning photograph of a single atom.

  We are aware of how skewed our perception of reality is. How we see the world is shaped by our senses, our societies, and our knowledge.

Scientists have discovered proof of a strange particle that strangely enough is also its own antiparticle. Even though it was initially postulated 80 years...

Light travels at a continuous and finite speed of 186,000 miles per second. But did you have note that the speed of light can be manipulated? 

What exactly is consciousness and how it is generated? How and why it exists and what’s the ultimate cause of consciousness?  These are...

The LIGO discovery, the finding of a merger of 30-solar-mass black holes made astronomers question just how common black holes of such enormous sizes...
