FRANKFURT. It was one of the biggest surprises in the history of science: In the early days of quantum physics around 100 years ago, scholars discovered that the particles which make up our matter ...

One of the most fundamental interactions in physics is that of electrons and light. In an experiment at Goethe University Frankfurt, scientists have now managed to observe what is known as the Kapitza ...

Joining the sweeping theory of general relativity to the probabilistic world of quantum mechanics is perhaps the greatest challenge in modern physics. Each has been borne out on its own scale by ...

For 16 years, scientists hypothesized the existence of a quasi-particle called a semi-Dirac fermion, named after mathematician Paul Dirac whose eponymous equation describes these fermions. Now, a new ...
