Why does the Universe exist instead of having been annihilated shortly after its birth? This fundamental question in physics ...

Neutrino physics remains a pivotal area in the quest to unravel fundamental aspects of particle behaviour and the evolution of the universe. Neutrinos—elusive, nearly massless particles—are known to ...

Quantum gravity is the missing link between general relativity and quantum mechanics, the yet-to-be-discovered key to a unified theory capable of explaining both the infinitely large and the ...

Early Tuesday morning, the Nobel Committee announced that two scientists, Takaaki Kajita of Japan and Arthur McDonald of Canada, won the Nobel Prize in physics for their experiments in neutrino ...

Researchers in Japan and the US have provided independent confirmation that neutrinos have mass and can oscillate -- or change from one type of neutrino to another. Their results show that ...

Modern nuclear theory predicts that nucleons appear less “squishy” when probed with neutrinos than was previously inferred from experimental data Scientists use the nuclear theory method called ...

Researchers have discovered quantum oscillations of electrical resistivity in an insulator for the first time. The new discovery, made in the mixed valence Kondo insulator ytterbium dodecaboride, is ...

A new study from physicists in the United States and Japan suggests that we may be entering another moment of scientific ...

Neutrinos are the most enigmatic of the subatomic fundamental particles. Ghosts of the quantum world, neutrinos interact so weakly with ordinary matter that it would take a wall of solid lead five ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics has been jointly awarded to Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. McDonald, for discoveries that proved that neutrinos have mass. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the ...
