In our 3D space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction ...

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 ...

Magnetic monopoles are elementary particles with isolated magnetic charges in three dimensions. In other words, they behave as isolated north or south poles of a magnet. Magnetic monopoles have ...

An international research team has sparked interest in the scientific community with results in quantum physics. In their current study, the researchers reinterpret the Higgs mechanism, which gives ...

Javier Duarte kicked off his scientific career by witnessing the biggest particle physics event in decades. On July 4, 2012, scientists at the laboratory CERN near Geneva announced the discovery of ...

In its first moments, the infant universe was a trillion-degree-hot soup of quarks and gluons. These elementary particles ...

Nobel and Templeton Prize-winning physicist Frank Wilczek explores the secrets of the cosmos. Read previous columns here. Electrons are the most elementary of elementary particles. In fundamental ...

The latest dark matter experiment kicks off this week, as physicists aim to identify the universe's most enigmatic particles. Reading time 2 minutes Long tubes, strong magnets, and bright lasers. Is ...

Physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) have discovered a completely new type of quantum entanglement, the spooky phenomenon that binds particles across any distance. In particle collider ...

The discovery of the Higgs boson provided insight into what gives elementary particles mass. The Higgs boson, a fundamental particle predicted by theorist Peter Higgs, is key to understanding why ...
