In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction gets a bit murky.

the discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012 and the proof of the existence of the Higgs field, physicists have used a variety of familiar analogies to explain how the Higgs ...

When it comes to topics about the universe, often "String theoryI hear the word "what is that substance" is not well known. A movie that explains such 'string theory' is published on YouTube. Because ...

Physicists at the ATLAS detector of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have spotted top quarks — the heaviest of all known elementary particles — that were produced by the collision of atomic nuclei 1.

The discovery of the Higgs boson provided insight into what gives elementary particles mass. The Higgs boson, a fundamental particle predicted by theorist Peter Higgs, is key to understanding why ...

Without elementary particles, there'd be no X-Ray machines, no Internet and no electricity. Because some elementary particles penetrate matter without destroying it, they're a boon for scientific and ...
