Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have confirmed the existence of a massless particle, long theorized ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Quantum mechanics is both the most powerful theory physicists have ever devised and the most baffling. On the one hand, ...

Scientists worldwide respond to the publication of the three-volume monograph “Quantum Model of the Universe” #Physics ...

A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

Several massive multimillion dollar experiments should soon reveal more about the nature of these ghostly particles ...

The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible. Tachyons are a ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

The muon’s mysteries continue to leave physicists spellbound. Last year, an experiment suggested that the elementary particle had inexplicably strong magnetism, possibly breaking a decades-long streak ...

Jason Bono was one of the researchers behind a major scientific moment — when tiny particles unexpectedly unraveled one of the most important and successful theories in physics. Bono, who earned his ...

Power functional theory is a new approach that makes it possible to describe precisely the dynamics of many-particle systems over time. Physicists at the University of Bayreuth are among the ...
