Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

Quantum physicists are edging closer to a kind of controlled transmutation, not of lead into gold, but of one electronic reality into another. By steering exotic entities called excitons, researchers ...

A 'boom' of light that appears when a particle exceeds the speed of light set by a medium could, in other contexts, signal a ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Flashes like Cherenkov radiation in space may reveal negative-energy ghosts, hinting at gaps in gravity theories.
