Physicists succeeded in precisely engineering key ingredients to simulate a specific lattice gauge theory using ultracold atoms in optical lattices. Fundamental interactions between particles are ...

Part one of a four part series on the fundamental forces (or interactions) of physics begins with the strong force or strong ...

By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a research ...

A quantum computer that can simulate interactions between fundamental particles has been unveiled by physicists in Austria. Four trapped ions were used to model the physics that describes the creation ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...

Scientists have measured the largest effect of the "weak interaction" -- one of the four fundamental forces of nature -- ever observed in an atom. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, ...

Positronium, an exotic atom formed from an electron and its antimatter counterpart, the positron, has long served as a unique system for testing the fundamental principles of quantum electrodynamics ...

The bible of particle physics is dying for an upgrade. And physicists may have just the thing: Some particles and forces might look in the mirror and not recognize themselves. That, in itself, would ...
