Princeton researchers say their two-camera approach offers the most detailed footage of a nano-sized particle to date, which could ultimately shed light on how viruses and cells interact. Elizabeth ...

Physicists have long known how lightning ends, in a blinding discharge that can heat air hotter than the surface of the Sun, ...

Shot over seven years, Mark Levinson’s documentary “Particle Fever” follows the ambitious team of experimental physicists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) as they try to get ...

He's not quite as elusive as the sub-atomic particle that bears his name, but 82-year-old professor Peter Higgs rarely meets the press. So it's worth pointing out that a certain theoretical physicist ...

It has been thought of as many things: a pointlike object, an excitation of a field, a speck of pure math that has cut into reality. But never has physicists’ conception of a particle changed more ...

There's a whole world under the surface and only Ron has any idea about it. And sometimes the two worlds collide, and sometimes they don't. Ron holds them at arm's length from each other. Watch every ...

The Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP) is going to take up the case of sub-atomic particle boson, derived from an Indian scientist's name... The God particle, or Higgs Boson, interestingly ...

We’ve created a new way to explore the fundamental constituents of the universe. [Editor’s note: The full, interactive map is available below.] All of nature springs from a handful of components — the ...

Last week I wasted a happy hour at the local bookstore flipping through Quantum Mechanics: The Theoretical Minimum by Leonard Susskind and Art Friedman. While it's definitely a book for people who ...
