One dimensional anyons offer tunable quantum statistics
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Feb 05, 2026 Physicists have traditionally divided all elementary particles in three dimensional space into just two categories, bosons and fermions, depending on how systems of identical particles behave when the particles exchange places. In standard quantum theory, experimental observations in three dimensions point to a strict binary: when two identical particles swap positions, the combined quantum state either remains unchanged, corresponding to bosons, or it acquires a minus sign, corresponding to fermions, w ... read more |

Exploding primordial black hole model may link extreme neutrino and dark matterAmherst MD (SPX) Feb 05, 2026 In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been impossible. In fact, there are no known sources anywhere in the universe ... more 
Laser method proposed to extend muon lifetime for science applicationsLondon, UK (SPX) Jan 28, 2026 Unless they work in particle physics or a related discipline, most people are unlikely to have encountered muons, elementary particles that resemble electrons but are around 200 times heavier and in ... more 
Heavy impurities reveal new link in quantum matter theoryBerlin, Germany (SPX) Jan 21, 2026 A new theoretical framework from physicists at Heidelberg University connects two long standing views of how a single exotic particle behaves inside a quantum many body system of fermions. The work ... more 
Quark wakes reveal early universe plasma flowed like a liquidLos Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 30, 2026 In its first instants, the universe formed a searing quark gluon plasma in which quarks and gluons moved at near light speed before cooling to build the protons and neutrons that dominate matter tod ... more |

It started with a cat: How 100 years of quantum weirdness powers today's techCollege Station, TX (SPX) Jan 21, 2026 A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone of technologies that shape our lives, from lasers and microchips to quantu ... more 
Primordial magnetism offers fresh angle on the Hubble constant puzzleLos Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 21, 2026 A Simon Fraser University cosmologist reports that new theoretical work on primordial magnetic fields could move researchers closer to resolving the longstanding Hubble tension, the mismatch in meas ... more 
Quantum collapse models point to subtle limits in timekeeping accuracyLos Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 21, 2026 Quantum mechanics describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a superposition of states, being in multiple places and configurations at once, encoded in a mathematical object called a ... more 
Laser timing tech sharpens black hole radio viewsTokyo, Japan (SPX) Jan 19, 2026 Radio telescopes capture faint radio signals from space and convert them into images of distant celestial objects, but resolving black holes sharply requires many instruments to observe in perfect s ... more 
JWST red dots reveal rapidly growing early black holesBerlin, Germany (SPX) Jan 15, 2026 Since the James Webb Space Telescope began science operations in December 2021 some 1.5 million kilometres from Earth, astronomers have been puzzled by compact, intensely red sources scattered throu ... more |

Scientists uncover new quantum state that could power future technologies
Houston TX (SPX) Jan 15, 2026 Scientists have discovered a new quantum state of matter that connects two significant areas of physics, potentially leading to advancements in computing, sensing and materials science. A study published in Nature Physics Jan. 14, co-led by Rice University's Qimiao Si, brings together quantum criticality, where electrons fluctuate between different phases, and electronic topology, which describes a form of quantum organization based on the wave behavior of electrons. The researchers found that str ... read more
