Particle physicists have detected a novel decay of the Higgs boson for the first time, revealing a slight discrepancy in the predictions of the Standard Model and perhaps pointing to new physics ...
Scientists found one of the strongest signs of quantum entanglement ever seen, revealing unusual behavior inside a metal ...
From the early days of quantum mechanics, scientists have thought that all particles can be categorized into one of two groups—bosons or fermions—based on their behavior. However, new research by Rice ...
The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than others. Reading time 5 minutes For all practical purposes, the Standard ...
Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though quantum physics says their exact position is fundamentally uncertain. Now, ...
