Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light and is thus impossible to detect using conventional techniques employed in particle physics. In recent years ...

FOR some drugs both the degree of alimentary absorption and the consequent levels in the blood are inversely related to particle size. Here we summarize the results of experiments to investigate ...

Helen Edwards was a particle physicist who led the design and construction of the Tevatron, a machine built to probe deeper into the atom than anyone had gone before.

Particle physics is the study of the elementary building blocks of matter and radiation and their interaction. The fundamental particles are summarised by the standard model. This includes leptons ...

As you age, your risk for higher blood sugar increases—which raises the risk of type 2 diabetes for adults in their 50s, 60s, and 70s. Using a chart of blood sugar levels by age can help you track ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state of its entangled pair regardless of distance. This strange fact flies ...

Air pollution levels may be higher inside your home than outside, warns a new study. People may be exposed to unhealthy levels of airborne pollutants in their own living space - even if the ...

Their findings, published in Science Advances, reveal a level of quantum behavior more extreme than previously thought ... a phenomenon where two particles remain connected regardless of distance.
