In the strange and fascinating world of quantum mechanics, particles have long been sorted into just two types: fermions and bosons. These labels help explain how matter forms and how forces work.

A mysterious glow of gamma rays at the center of the Milky Way has long hinted at dark matter, but the lack of similar ...

Physicists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) announced on 5 July that they had observed three exotic new types of particles that had never been seen before—shining a light into ...

From the early days of quantum mechanics, scientists have thought that all particles can be categorized into one of two groups — bosons or fermions — based on their behavior. “We determined that new ...

Nuclear physicists have found a new way to see inside nuclei by tracking interactions between particles of light and gluons. The method relies on harnessing a new type of quantum interference between ...
