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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and the University of Oklahoma have pinpointed a one-dimensional system where such particles can exist and have examined their ...

Everything around you – from tables and trees to distant stars and the great diversity of animal and plant life – is built from a small set of elementary particles. According to established scientific ...

Axions have so far only been hypothetical elementary particles that could form dark matter. With a trick, a trace may now have been found for the first time. A research group from Denmark has ...
