Wojciech Brylinski was analyzing data from the NA61/SHINE collaboration at CERN for his thesis when he noticed an unexpected ...

Charge-parity violation is thought to explain why there’s more matter than antimatter in the universe. Scientists just spotted it in a new place.

Supersymmetry, long considered the golden child of theoretical physics, has officially lost its luster at the world’s ...

Physicists have long been fascinated by the concept of symmetry breaking, a fundamental principle in physical sciences that ...

Argonne scientists have unveiled new methods for controlling material properties. The breakthrough enables researchers to ...

In a groundbreaking advance that could accelerate the development of quantum technologies, researchers at the USC Viterbi Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and School of ...

Just like bumping the tower can shift the blocks and change its structure, external forces can shift the atoms in a quantum dot, breaking its symmetry and affecting its properties. Scientists have ...

Translational symmetry, for example – the idea that physics remains broadly the same if you move a little to the left or right, or backwards or forwards – is nothing other than the law of ...

WASHINGTON, March 17, 2025 – AIP and the American Physical Society (APS) are excited to award Samson Shatashvili with the 2025 Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics. Shatashvili is being ...
