Dr. Randolf Pohl from the Institute for Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), have successfully conducted experiments on hydrogen atoms which allow testing of the Standard Model of ...

Planck’s constant is one of the most important numbers in all of physics. It is, essentially, the ultimate guide to the quantum world. It tells us where quantum effects are important, the fundamental ...

Although it outnumbers regular matter by a ratio of five to one, dark matter is frustratingly elusive. Many experiments have been and are being run to try to hunt down different types of candidate ...

If you divide the matter in the Universe into smaller and smaller constituents, you'll eventually reach a limit when you hit a fundamental, indivisible particle. All macroscopic objects can be divided ...

Extremely massive fundamental particles could exist, but they would seriously mess with our understanding of quantum mechanics. Fundamental particles are objects that are so small, they have no deeper ...

If you want to explain what was and what is, you need particle physics. Because everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, and atoms in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic ...
