The principle of “quantum ghosts” was first inferred by Albert Einstein, who was so worried about it that he called it “spooky action at a distance.” It refers to the apparent ability that some particles have to interact with each other over very long distances, even though they are not direct... |

The Earth is constantly being bombarded with a huge amount of cosmic rays every day, however, most of these are quickly absorbed by the atmosphere. The vast majority subatomic particles usually come from our own Sun and pack a relatively low energy, but from time to time, Earth has received a dose of highly energetic... |

This instrument will be used to detect some of nature's most mysterious subatomic particles, to create a picture of the Earth's dense iron core. It consists of a giant telescope which will be buried in the ice at the South Pole, and is designed to detect neutrinos, that present so little interaction with th... |

One of the most troubling paradoxes in the world of quantum physics is represented in the particle-wave duality, which implies that subatomic particles, or particles close to the quantum levels, exist in two different states at the same time - particle and wave.Traditional particle-wave duality experiments, study the... |
