How did the universe come into being? There are a multitude of theories on this subject. In a Physical Review Letters paper, ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

When dust sticks to a surface or a lizard sits on a ceiling, it is due to "nature's invisible glue." Researchers at Chalmers ...

Electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force are two distinct fundamental forces. That wasn’t always the case. How many fundamental forces are there in our universe? For particle physicists, answering ...

A new experiment will test the notion that gravity, one of the fundamental forces in the physical world, relies upon quantum physics to work. If so, it would further indicate the centrality of quantum ...

Real particles are lumps of energy that can be "seen" or detected by appropriate instruments; this feature is what makes them ...

College of Arts and Sciences (A&S) physicists at Syracuse University have launched a new tracking device to research the fundamental forces and particles in the universe. The device, known as the ...

The ATLAS collaboration recently measured the strength of the strong force to a record level of precision, but there’s still a long way to go toward understanding this fundamental force. In September, ...

According to the laws of physics, matter and antimatter behave the same way and were formed in equal quantities in the Big ...

Chalmers researchers have developed a simple, light-based platform to study the mysterious “invisible glue” that binds materials at the nanoscale. Gold flakes floating in salt water reveal how quantum ...

The search for a Theory of Everything or Grand Unification Theory is the most ambitious goal in modern physics, aiming to ...

A collaborative team of physicists and microbiologists from UNIST and Stanford University has, for the first time, uncovered ...
