The Standard Model is an "astoundingly successful" theory in particle physics, detailing the behavior and interactions of 17 fundamental particles (12 fermions and 5 bosons), with thousands of precise ...
Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...
String theory attempts to unify all forces and particles in the universe using vibrating strings. It aims to explain the Standard Model of particle physics, which is incomplete. String theory predicts ...
Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...
A team of physicists has coaxed a single, photon-like particle into behaving as if it lives in 37 different quantum ...
The force we experience most intimately remains the most mysterious. Physicists understand how vast migrations of particles called photons light up our homes, and how swarms of “gluon” particles hold ...
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 ...
