The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new ...

An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to ...

During the latter part of the 20th century, string theory was put forward as a unifying theory of physics foundations. String theory has not, however, fulfilled expectations. That is why we are of the ...

An international research team has sparked interest in the scientific community with results in quantum physics. In their current study, the researchers reinterpret the Higgs mechanism, which gives ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

You may think of physics as a way to explain the behaviors of things like black holes, colliding particles, falling apples, and quantum computers. But a small group physicists today is working on a ...

Peter Millington is a Senior Research Fellow in the Particle Theory Group at the University of Manchester, UK, where he holds a UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders Fellowship and a Royal Society ...

Does anyone understand quantum theory? The legendary Richard Feynman suggested that if you think you do, you haven’t understood it at all. But quantum theory is our best description of the microscopic ...
