An obscure theory of elementary particles proved to be key to China’s re-emergence as a scientific nation after the Cultural ...
Nobel and Templeton Prize-winning physicist Frank Wilczek explores the secrets of the cosmos. Read previous columns here. Electrons are the most elementary of elementary particles. In fundamental ...
An international research team has sparked interest in the scientific community with results in quantum physics. In their current study, the researchers reinterpret the Higgs mechanism, which gives ...
Physicists at the ATLAS detector of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have spotted top quarks — the heaviest of all known elementary particles — that were produced by the collision of atomic nuclei 1.
In the strange and fascinating world of quantum mechanics, particles have long been sorted into just two types: fermions and bosons. These labels help explain how matter forms and how forces work.
