New research discovers quantum particles that exist in one dimension
A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday ...
In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction gets a bit murky.
A team of physicists from the University of Ottawa have developed a new theoretical model that shines new light on how ...
Physicists have plans for the future of the Higgs boson. July 4, 2013— -- One year ago, several hours before cities across the United States started their annual fireworks displays, a different ...
Yesterday, my friend and collaborator Ainissa Ramirez wrote a very popular guest post, entitled The Higgs Boson: Why You Should Care, and Sadly, Why You Don’t. Here’s her follow-up, explaining in very ...
If you’ve heard the news about the Nobel Prize in physics, you might be asking yourself: What is a Higgs boson anyway? If you know one thing about the Higgs boson, it’s probably that it’s called the ...
A new type of machine could rival quantum computers in exceeding the power of classical computers, researchers say. Quantum computers rely on the bizarre properties of atoms and the other construction ...
More than two years after physicists discovered the Higgs boson, there’s still a lot they don’t know about the elusive particle. Now, they want your help to make the next discovery about this particle ...
My friend and collaborator Ainissa Ramirez, a Yale University materials scientist and TED Talker, likes to call herself a science evangelist, and her passion and expertise at science education is ...

New model of the early universe shows that black holes, boson stars, and cannibal stars may have existed within one second of the Big Bang
The early universe sounds terrifying.
When Scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider reported that they had likely found the Higgs boson, physics went mainstream. Overnight, the subatomic particle became a meme, a watercooler topic, and ...
As you may have heard, there is now strong evidence that a particle called the Higgs boson, whose existence has long been predicted on theoretical grounds, actually exists. Let me explain to you what ...
