An international team combining two major neutrino experiments has uncovered stronger evidence that neutrinos and antimatter don’t behave as perfect mirror images. That subtle difference may hold the ...

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

The Schrödinger equation rewrote the rules of matter and forever changed the field of chemistry. Donald Truhlar, a chemist at the University of Minnesota, calls it the “greatest advance of the 20th ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

In terms of the Quasiparticle Model, a single particle travels through a sea of fermions, which include electrons, protons, or neutrons, and interacts persistently with its neighbours.

The field of particle physics is approaching a critical horizon defined by challenges including unprecedented data volumes and detector complexity. Upcoming ...

“The theoretical framework we developed explains how quasiparticles emerge in systems with an extremely heavy impurity, ...

For over a decade, confusion over the size of the proton has held scientists back. Disagreeing measurements of the subatomic particle’s radius meant that scientists couldn’t test one of their key ...

It has been well said by others that so-called “Modern Monetary Theory (MMT)”—similar to the Holy Roman Empire—is not modern, not monetary, and not a theory. Interestingly, Mises made this argument in ...
