The second paper, "Fermion Chirality from Non-Bipartite Topology," applies this same lattice geometry to the quantum world. It proposes that the "handedness" (chirality) of subatomic particles is not ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Several years ago, scientists discovered that a single microscopic particle could rock back and forth on its own under a ...

Far beneath the Antarctic ice sheet, scientists are mapping a landscape that looks less like a frozen desert and more like an ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...

Smaller than an atom, but majorly important: introducing the quark! Quarks helped make sense of particle physics, and we'll ...

On Monday, the Society of Physics Students, or SPS, welcomed Helen Quinn — a renowned particle physicist — to deliver the Howard L. Schultz Sr. Price Lecture. During the talk, Quinn spoke on her ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Before the Ancient Romans, it was the Ancient Greeks who colonized Naples, leaving behind traces of life, and death, inside ancient burial chambers, she says. She points a flashlight at a stone-relief ...

This session will be held in person at CERN and online via Zoom. The Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences invites researchers, engineers and postdoctoral fellows ...
