CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to probe the fringes of known physics, and now the facility has found particles not behaving as predicted. While it’s still early days, the discovery ...

The quarks, antiquarks, and gluons of the standard model have a color charge, in addition to all the other properties like mass and electric charge that other particles and antiparticles possess. All ...

All the matter we know of in our Universe is made of both fundamental and composite particles. However, only a few of the fundamental particles are observed to be stable and not to decay into other ...

We can never 100% prove that the constants really are constant. There is a set of very special numbers, known as the fundamental constants of nature, that cannot be explained. Where do they come from?

There’s no denying that the universe is one of the most complex things we can possibly try to get our heads around. Not only is it difficult to understand what goes on beyond the limits of the solar ...

RECENTLY J. Barnóthy 1 has proposed an explanation of the elementary particles (protons, electrons, etc.) in terms of serial universes, each enclosed in one of higher order. The elementary particles ...

A theoretical superconductor in which pairs of elementary particles circulate around a chiral axis displays quantum behaviours that could reveal the elusive secrets of quantum gravity, a study ...

A new way of explaining gravity could bring us a step closer to resolving the heretofore irresolvable differences it has with quantum mechanics. Physicists Mikko Partanen and Jukka Tulkki at Aalto ...

Physicists claim they may have found a long-awaited explanation for dark energy, the mysterious force that's driving the accelerated expansion of the universe, a new preprint study hints. Their ...
