In three-dimensional particle physics, elementary particles divide nicely into fermions and bosons. But in lower-dimensions, things aren’t so clear cut. These dimensions host a “third kingdom” of ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when reading this story: When you drill down into the very fabric of reality—where elementary particles make up the matter that is you and me and everything around us in three ...

Quantum mechanical effects are known to be easily disrupted by disturbances from the surrounding environment, commonly ...

A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

Michael S Turner argues that the next breakthrough in particle physics and cosmology may be just around the corner.

In the time it takes you to read this sentence, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will have smashed billions of particles ...

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

Against this backdrop, a new large-scale research work devoted to the analysis of the fundamental structure of modern physics has been published. Researcher Sergey G. Kolesnyak has presented a ...

Some people worried that the large hadron collider would smash particles together so hard it would make black holes that would swallow the earth, open wormholes to other dimension ...

Researchers created a technique to reduce uncertainty in cosmic birefringence measurements, resolving a key phase ambiguity and improving future studies of fundamental physics.

Matts Roos, who promoted the international standardisation of high-energy-physics data and developed the popular statistical ...

With the Earth moving between the moon and the sun, its giant shadow changing the moon's reflected glow from ivory to a reddish color.
