‘Last Hope’ Experiment Finds Evidence for Unknown Particles
...particle physics,” said Stöckinger. The Fermilab g-2 experiment is “our last hope of an experiment which really proves the existence of physics beyond the Standard Model,” he said. If it...
The Near-Magical Mystery of Quasiparticles
...Das Sarma is undeterred. “I guarantee you the Majorana will be seen, because its theory is pristine. This is an engineering problem; this is not a physics problem,” he said....
Sharon Glotzer’s Deep Curiosity About Order From Chaos
...a course from Bob Cousins, Professor Cousins on, like, particle physics. Like, you know, the upper division Intro to Particle Physics where you learn about quarks and color. And I’m...
A New Twist Reveals Superconductivity’s Secrets
...with simple ratios that seemed impervious to the increasing complexities of the thicker systems. “Especially in condensed matter physics, you think that you’re doing something very close to physical or...
Frank Wilczek on the Strong Force, Quarks and Dark Matter
...of the greatest accomplishments in theoretical physics over the past hundred years, including an explanation for the strong nuclear force and key contributions to our understanding of quantum chromodynamics. This...
Quantum Mischief Rewrites the Laws of Cause and Effect
...physics applies. “The equivalence principle allowed you to find the old physics inside the new physics,” Hardy said. “That gave Einstein just enough.” Here’s the analogous principle: Quantum gravity allows...
Isadore Singer Transcended Mathematical Boundaries

Imaginary Numbers May Be Essential for Describing Reality
...predict the outcome of a famous quantum physics experiment known as the Bell test. The new research, which was posted on the scientific preprint server arxiv.org in January, finds that...
Decades-Long Quest Reveals Details of the Proton’s Inner Antimatter
...who helps analyze LHC data, said the SeaQuest measurement “could have a big impact” on the search for new physics, which is currently “limited by our knowledge of the proton...
