In 1956, physicist David Pines theorized the existence of a massless, neutral plasmon called a “demon” that could help ...

According to the model, dark matter may have started as particles that were hot, light, massless, and fast. As the universe ...

In 1956, theoretical physicist David Pines predicted that electrons in a solid can do something strange. While they normally have a mass and an electric charge, Pines asserted that they can combine to ...

But what have been the most significant physics prizes of the 21st century? I’m including 2000 as part of this century (ignoring pedants who say it didn’t start till 1 January 2001 ). During that time ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three scientists on Tuesday for discovering that a bizarre barrier-defying ...

The fact that particles have mass is something most people take for granted. But what actually gives particles mass? Professor of Physics Gerry Guralnik thinks he knows the answer, but researchers are ...

Weyl fermions, first theorised 85 years ago, could facilitate the free and efficient flow of electricity, potentially allowing electronic devices of the future to be even more powerful . An ...

What would a bucket full of deep space contain? Richard LivitskiSeal Beach, California One would think that this excellent ...

An artist's concept of multiple types of subatomic particles. Forget about turtles; for all practical purposes, it’s really particles all the way down. Consider the seemingly simple matter of their ...

The discovery of the Higgs boson filled in a missing piece of the standard model of particle physics, which describes matter and its interactions. A decade later, physicists continue to probe the ...
