In 1963, Maria Goeppert Mayer won the Nobel Prize in physics for describing the layered, shell-like structures of atomic nuclei. No woman has won since. One of the many women who, in a different world ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

This discovery is important because it ruled out a major possibility for new physics beyond the Standard Model.

After a decade of painstaking measurements, scientists have delivered a major plot twist in particle physics: a ...

When it comes to building particle accelerators the credo has always been “bigger, badder, better”. While the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with its 27 km circumference and €7.5 billion budget is still ...

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 European Laboratory for Elementary Particle Physics is one of the world's leading scientific institutions. Securing it ...

At the heart of every atomic nucleus, the strong interaction quietly dictates the structure of matter, yet for decades one of ...

Retired psychiatrist Dr. Sam D. Toney releases Revelation Equation, a science fiction novel grounded in real physics that ...

Everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, which in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic nuclei contain positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons, which consist of ...
