A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the ...

Particle physics has always proceeded in two ways, of which new particles is one. The other is by making very precise measurements that test the predictions of theories and look for deviations from ...

An obscure theory of elementary particles proved to be key to China’s re-emergence as a scientific nation after the Cultural ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a research ...

Ten years ago, scientists announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, which helps explain why elementary particles (the smallest building blocks of nature) have mass. When you purchase through links ...

A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and future of particle physics research. Particle physicists have a reputation ...

As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is “When are you going to find something?” Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...

UC Santa Cruz physicist Stefano Profumo has put forward two imaginative but scientifically grounded theories that may help solve one of the biggest mysteries in physics: the origin of dark matter. In ...
