Physicists have produced experimental evidence that anyons, exotic quasiparticles long thought to exist only in ...

Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...

In its first moments, the infant universe was a trillion-degree-hot soup of quarks and gluons. These elementary particles ...

ABSTRACT: Without modifying the Standard Model Lagrangian, a representation of the flavors of elementary fermions (quarks and leptons) is introduced in terms of a triplet of internal colors, each ...

A specific structure of Standard Model (SM) particles is proposed and investigated. According to this proposal, the precursor of an elementary particle is a de Sitter space tangent to ordinary ...

From the birth of quantum mechanics to the cutting edge of nanoscience and the deepest reaches of fundamental physics, this article explores how our understanding of the universe has evolved—from the ...

Michael Riordan surveys the extraordinary events of 1964 – a year that witnessed the birth of the quark model, the invention of the Higgs mechanism, the discovery of CP violation and the first ...

Physicists from the University of Copenhagen have begun using the gigantic magnetic fields of galaxy clusters to observe distant black holes in their search for an elusive particle that has stumped ...

University of Copenhagen physicists have developed a new observation tactic that uses the magnetic fields of galaxy clusters as a sort of natural particle accelerator in their hunt for the mysterious ...

Carnegie Mellon University's Valentina Dutta is on the lookout for evidence of subatomic particles known as the Higgs boson interacting with each other. Dutta, assistant professor of physics, shared ...
