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 ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is “When are you going to find something?” Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...

An illustration conveying the idea of a space-based quantum internet, which would seem, like the hypothetical particle of a tachyon, to outpace light. An illustration ...

Large Hadron Collider has ended W boson fever. "We have to search for new physics elsewhere," one researcher says. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used computer simulations to model how a composite material reacts to loading. They studied a particle model of a pillar of stiffer ...

What lies at the heart of a black hole has puzzled physicists for decades. Now, a team led by physicist Enrico Rinaldi has taken a bold approach to the mystery. By using quantum computing and machine ...

The ancient Greeks conceived of five building blocks of matter – from bottom to top: earth, water, air, fire and aether. Aether was the matter that filled the heavens and explained the rotation of the ...
