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 ...

This article is the first part of a series about quantum field theory published by Quanta Magazine. Other stories in the series can be found here. Over the past century, quantum field theory has ...

Effective field theory (EFT) and hydrodynamics together provide a powerful lens through which to view the collective behaviour of quantum systems. EFT offers a systematic approach to model 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 ...

The Universe we perceive and view, all around us, isn't representative of what actually exists at a fundamental level. Instead of continuous, solid objects, matter is composed of indivisible quantum ...

Going to smaller and smaller distance scales reveals more fundamental views of nature, which means if we can understand and describe the smallest scales, we can build our way to an understanding of ...

Physicists are still chasing the dream of Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking to capture the workings of the entire universe in a single equation. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...
