Penn scientists may have found a way to power future AI with exotic light-matter particles instead of electrons.

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries such as dark ...

Researchers at Penn have created a hybrid light-matter particle that could dramatically speed up AI computing while using far ...

Imagine trying to photograph something smaller than a single chromosome and moving close to the speed of light. Ordinary cameras, no matter how advanced, simply can’t do that. But scientists have now ...

An experiment to seek dark-matter particles in remote wilderness locations has detected nothing yet, narrowing down the range of the particles’ possible interactions 1. The invisible material called ...

A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What happens to these particles within atoms would stay unexplained ...

Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, unsettling uncertainties and—perhaps oddest of all—particles that spontaneously spring into being from the ...
