Particle Physics
One of the best astounding facts in physics is that everything in the cosmos, from light to electrons to atoms, acts like both a particle and a wave at the same time. But the question is how did phys…
Since the mid-twentieth century, two theories of physics have offered powerful yet incompatible models of the physical universe. General relativity brings space and time together into the (then) port…
Physicists are using the LHC to probe for elementary particles that may exist beyond the Standard Model. By doing so, they may discover (and may have already discovered) a “new physics” that has a re…
Particle physics Particle physics is a branch of physics that studies the elementary constituents of matter and radiation, and the interactions between them. Scroll down for the Video ! It is also ca…
Quark Quirks Called Tetraquarks Everything and everything in the universe is made up of atoms — except, of course, atoms themselves. They are made up of subatomic particles, namely, protons, neutrons…
Quantum physics could, theoretically, be used to fulfill the age old desire to teleport. However, any practical use is a an extremely long way off, with scientists only managing single particles so f…
Researchers from the University of Cambridge have taken a peek into the secretive domain of quantum mechanics. In a theoretical paper published in the journal Physical Review A, they have shown that …
A group of researchers has discovered proof for a strange particle that, strangely, is also its own antiparticle. It was first proposed 80 years ago but now existence of it might be a reality. The re…
The Large Hadron Collider has once again done what it does best – smash bits of matter together and find new particles in the carnage. This time physicists have come across a real charmer. It's f…
A review of three separate experiments has turned up "remarkably similar" results, pointing to what researchers say is a strong possibility that we've found hits of a phenomenon that …
Researchers at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have managed to produce an extreme physical object – a molecule that attracts more electrons than it can keep until it explodes. This object, d…
