Scientists are using trapped ions in experiments to search for signs of a new particle that could help explain the mysterious ...

Clocks might be far more fundamental to physics than we ever realized. A new theory suggests what we see around us – from the ...

Experts believe the universe may have a built-in 'self-destruct button' called false vacuum decay which could destroy the ...

We have calculated the levitation force and the interaction energy between a thin monolayer of super-paramagnetic fine ferromagnetic particles system and a large flat superconductor in the Meissner ...

An atom consists of a heavy center, called the nucleus, made of particles called protons and neutrons. An atom has lighter ...

But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general ...

Ellipsoidal particles have previously been shown to suppress the coffee-ring effect in millimeter-sized colloidal droplets. Compared to their spherical counterparts, ellipsoidal particles experience ...

While the Standard Model (SM) describes all known fundamental particles and many of the interactions between them, it fails ...

On June 11, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine announced the result of a three-year study to set a ...

The Large Hadron Collider is one of the biggest experiments in history, but it’s also one of the hardest to interpret. Unlike ...

From living matter to molecules to elementary particles, the world is made of “chiral” objects that differ from their ...
