In a rare global collaboration, scientists from Japan and the United States joined forces to explore one of the universe’s deepest mysteries — why anything exists at all. By combining years of data ...

Thomas Mulligan investigates how subatomic particles and the principles of superposition might allow a jolly old soul to visit every home in a single night.

The CMS and ATLAS experiments recently detected quantum entanglement between top quarks in high-energy collisions at the LHC. What does that mean? Quantum entanglement links subatomic particles in a ...

A green spectacle. With protective eyewear, ISTA PHD student Andrea Stöllner takes a glimpse into the experimental chamber (in the foreground) where two laser beams trap a single particle. One ...

A study published in April 2026 in Proceedings of the Royal Society A shows a different possibility. Researchers demonstrated that a foundational classical principle can reproduce the exact same ...

This lesson utilizes an adaptation of the board game Subatomic: An Atom Building Game to help students learn about the different parts that make up an atom. During their turn, players can choose to ...

When you push "start" on your microwave or computer, the device flips right on—but major physics experiments like the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as ...
