A recent study has uncovered compelling evidence suggesting that the climate effects of new particles in urban areas have been significantly underestimated.

In physics, the term "isotropy" means a system where the properties are the same in all directions. For fusion, neutron ...

In the process, their experiment included photons in 37 dimensions, taking science even further down this strange quantum ...

More than a decade of data about the particles zipping around our sun can solve mysteries from the behaviour of individual ...

In a first, US researchers have observed fractional excitons, a new class of quantum particles, that were only theoretically ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

To do this physicists have one advantage: a common theory that collects all these animals under a single, unified description, called the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. Physicists can ...

He covers physics and astronomy, among other topics like tech and climate change. He graduated from University College London with a degree in particle physics before training as a journalist.

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 ...
