Quantum electrodynamics (QED) is the most rigorously tested quantum field theory of the standard model of particle physics 1. It describes the fundamental electromagnetic interactions of particles and ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Plasma is usually introduced as the stuff of stars and fusion reactors, a searing soup of charged particles that has little in common with the ice in a household freezer. Yet new experiments show that ...

A new study enhances hydrogen molecule predictions, achieving unprecedented precision in testing fundamental physics and quantum electrodynamics.

By tracing solar flare gamma rays, scientists gain new insight into particle behavior that shapes space weather forecasts.

Finding could have applications in acoustic-levitation-assisted 3D printing, mid-air chemical synthesis and micro-robotics ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

The joint NOvA-T2K analysis achieved unprecedented precision in measuring neutrino mass, a key step toward understanding ...
