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

Japanese physicists have revived Kelvin’s old idea of cosmic knots, showing how these tangled fields might explain why matter ...

The most exciting possible avenue for physics beyond the standard model of particle physics has been, for years, the discrepancy in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. After refinement in the ...

Noncommutative geometry offers a radical reformulation of traditional geometrical concepts by replacing the classical notion of a manifold with a noncommutative algebra of coordinates. This approach ...

Harvard Physics professor John Huth was awarded the 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award by ATLAS, a group of American particle physicists.

Deep under a mountain in Italy, researchers continue to push the boundaries of science with an experiment that could rewrite ...

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 ...

Red lines show the disintegration of a B-sub-s into two muons in the CMS camera at the Large Hadron Collider. Yello, green and blue are used to denote particles other than muons. Purdue University ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For nearly a century, the magnetic anomaly of the fundamental particle known as a muon has served as a means to test theories against experimental ...

On Monday, the Society of Physics Students, or SPS, welcomed Helen Quinn — a renowned particle physicist — to deliver the Howard L. Schultz Sr. Price Lecture. During the talk, Quinn spoke on her ...
