Matter can be both ... a common theory that collects all these animals under a single, unified description, called the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. Physicists can explore ‘new ...

There's a significant imbalance between matter and antimatter in our universe, but a strange particle called "the Majoron" could finally explain it, an audacious new study suggests. When you ...

The nature of dark matter is largely unknown, but it is thought to have mass, which influences particle interactions in the universe through gravity. Dark matter may not interact much with visible ...

Don Lincon, a senior scientist at the U.S. particle physics laboratory ... and representation theory to create mathematical models of dense matter systems, and found that these hypothetical ...

For over a century, quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity have stood as the cornerstones of modern physics, yet ...

Particle characterization involves analyzing particles based on attributes such as shape, size, surface properties, charge properties, mechanical properties, and microstructure, among others. A wide ...

The one exception was the existence of anyons, an exotic type of particle ... of this theory could guide experiments that could detect paraparticles in the excitations of condensed matter systems.

"It marks an exciting step forward in our understanding of dark matter and the dynamics of the Milky Way." A perplexing "break" in a stream of stars around the Milky Way could be the result of ...

And a story this week from the Washington Post’s Jeff Stein seemed to back that theory up. Stein reported that Trump’s advisers were considering scaling back his tariff plans; that rather than ...
