The quantum world is notoriously difficult to comprehend. As Niels Bohr famously stated, “Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it.” One of the things we pride ourselves on ...
CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to probe the fringes of known physics, and now the facility has found particles not behaving as predicted. While it’s still early days, the discovery ...
Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used computer simulations to model how a composite material reacts to loading. They studied a particle model of a pillar of stiffer ...
A decade-long investigation into puzzling neutrino behavior has now ruled out one of the most widely discussed explanations: ...
After a decade at Fermilab, scientists found no evidence for the sterile neutrino. MicroBooNE ruled it out with 95% certainty ...
There was a huge amount of excitement when the Higgs boson was first spotted back in 2012—a discovery that bagged the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2013. The particle completed the so-called standard ...
Is the standard model of particle physics complete? originally appeared on Quora: the knowledge sharing network where compelling questions are answered by people with unique insights. Answer by Jay ...
As a physicist working on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is “When are you going to find something?”. Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...
