From the early days of quantum mechanics, scientists have thought that all particles can be categorized into one of two groups—bosons or fermions—based on their behavior. However, new research ...

Particles the size of viruses have more difficulty ... important steps towards a healthier life for all.

For example: physics traditionally tells us that all particles can be classified into one of two types, either bosons or fermions, depending on their properties and behavior. But math says that ...

We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Fundamental particles fall within two camps—fermions or bosons—but a new study suggests that hypothetical paraparticles could exist ...

Substances can exist in three states of matter - solid, liquid and gas. All substances are made from particles, and the forces between the particles are different in solids, liquids and gases.

Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in underlying fields. The British physicist Paul Dirac started the ball ...
