It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, ...

An international team of astronomers has looked at something very big — a distant galaxy — to study the behavior of things very small — atoms and molecules — to gain vital clues about the fundamental ...

Researchers in the University of California, Irvine’s Department of Physics & Astronomy were among thousands of scientists from 70 countries to share in the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics ...

The model we have for understanding the universe’s fundamental particles is a bit like a gearbox: one tiny change to any one single particles’ properties throws off the mechanics of the other ...

It feels so obvious that time moves forward that questioning it can seem almost pointless.

Two physicists just snagged $3 million for helping develop a super-precise clock that could allow scientists to study and explore the universe like never before. Hidetoshi Yatori and Jun Ye won the ...

About 20 years ago, a physicist had an idea to reveal insights about a fundamental but enigmatic force at work in some of the most extreme environments in the universe. These environments include an ...
