What is our Universe made out of? At a fundamental level, to the best of our knowledge, the answer is simple: particles and fields. The type of matter that makes up humans, Earth, and all the stars, ...

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 ...

Two recent studies by Professor Stefano Profumo at the University of California, Santa Cruz, propose theories that attempt to answer one of the most fundamental open questions in modern physics: What ...

Scientists have developed a new cooling method that will allow easier measurements of a property of protons and antiprotons called the magnetic moment. This is one of the properties that is being ...

A new special edition of EPJ Special Topics brings together several papers that detail our understanding of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) and the processes that transformed it into the baryonic matter we ...

Duality ellipse The amount of coherence is linked to the amount of waveness and particleness of a quantum system through an duality ellipse relation. The coherence, modulated by the object shape, can ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...

Upon intravenous administration, NPs and NMs enter the vascular system and are distributed to the organs and peripheral tissues of the body. Within the vascular compartment these particles or ...

Fine particles play a crucial role in defining the properties of both natural and synthetic materials, significantly influencing processes such as adsorption, dissolution, and reaction rates. In many ...

A mysterious and long-sought particle that can remember its past has been created using a quantum computer. The particle, called an anyon, could improve the performance of quantum computers in the ...
