Tomasz Skwarnicki, a physicist from Syracuse University, is among the scientists interested in the search for the Higgs boson. This boson is the elementary particle that confers mass to all the other particles. According to the standard model, there can be only one such particle, but recent calculations resulted in t... |

Most of the studies conducted in the last decade, for understanding the nature of liquids and solids, involved dilute atomic gases at extremely low temperatures, such as helium-4 a isotope of helium that has atomic boson properties, meaning its cumulated spin is an integer number. Helium-3 didn't escape the phys... |

Last month, a team of physicists made a surprising announcement, in which they claim that they might have found an exotic particle, called the Higgs boson, or the "God" particle, as it plays a key role in explaining the origins of the mass of other elementary particles, in particular the difference between the massl... |

The Big Bang is a cosmological model in which the universe has been expanding for around 13.7 billion years, starting from a tremendously dense and hot state, thought to be the best model for the origin and evolution of the universe. But what happened before the Big Bang?This is a question only one machine built by ... |

Research scientists and physicists are making the final preparations for the world's largest physics experiment, which will produce an impressive amount of data. Universities across the United States and the world are hoping the CERN's Large Hadron Collider will determine the nature of matter.Computer scie... |

In quantum physics, fermions are particles with half-integer spin, named after Enrico Fermi, the father of quantum theory and the developer of the first nuclear reactor. There are two types of elementary fermions: quarks and leptons. As fermions are often approximately conserved, they are believed to be the constitue... |
