In the first study of its kind at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the CMS collaboration has tested whether top quarks adhere ...

The sun, a searing hot sphere of gas primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, boasts surface and outer atmospheric ...

Don Lincon, a senior scientist at the U.S. particle physics laboratory Fermilab, describes bosons as “puppies of the subatomic world” because you can have an unlimited number of bosons in the same ...

There's a significant imbalance between matter and antimatter in our universe, but a strange particle called "the Majoron" ...

Particle physics is the study of the elementary building blocks of matter and radiation and their interaction. The fundamental particles are summarised by the standard model. This includes leptons ...

Scientists have developed 'entanglement microscopy,' a technique that maps quantum entanglement at a microscopic level. By studying the deep connections between particles, researchers can now ...

Many important models in theoretical physics — including the standard model of particle physics — are governed by local ‘gauge’ symmetries. Now, a quantum computer has successfully ...

Scientists have come a step closer to understanding how collisionless shock waves -- found throughout the universe -- are able to accelerate particles to extreme speeds.

Hot stuff The first plasma at the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak. (Courtesy: University of Seville) A novel fusion device based at the University of Seville in Spain has achieved its first plasma. The ...

Wonder no more. A team of researchers at New York University have investigated the forces involved as a hoop rotates around a gyrating body, aiming to explain the physics and mathematics of hula ...

Often dismissed as the poor cousin of the sciences, chemistry has revealed natural laws that illuminate our Universe ...

Particle-like quantum states called non-abelian anyons remember being swapped and could be useful for protecting information in quantum computers.
