Particle physics is the study of the elementary building blocks of matter and radiation and their interaction. The fundamental particles are summarised by the standard model. This includes leptons ...

Professor Urbasi Sinha from the Raman Research Institute in Bengaluru has been honored with the Gates-Cambridge Impact Prize 2025 for her innovative work in quantum computing and technology.

Sunlight melts snowflakes. Fire turns logs into soot and smoke. A hot oven will make a magnet lose its pull. Physicists know from countless examples that if you crank the temperature high enough, ...

Physicists have long-suspected that the building blocks of protons experienced quantum entanglement. Now, researchers have the first direct evidence — after using a trick to infer subatomic ...

Both are not subjects we customarily hear about, but both are stepping-stones to the sciences of plasma physics, nuclear fusion, and clinical diagnostic techniques, about which we hear lots. Without ...

Physicists have devised a reliable method for making cacio e pepe, focusing on preventing the "mozzarella phase," where curds form and ruin the dish. They discovered that the key factor is the ...

Theoretical physicists have proposed the existence of a new type of particle that doesn’t fit into the conventional classifications of fermions and bosons. Their ‘paraparticle’, described in ...

Inside the proton, quarks and gluons shift and morph their properties in ways that physicists are still struggling to understand. Rithya Kunnawalkam Elayavalli brings to the problem a perspective ...

Theoretical physicists have proposed the existence of a new type of particle that doesn’t fit into the conventional classifications of fermions and bosons. Their ‘paraparticle’, described in ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don’t always follow the rules of the physical world. They can exist in two places at once, pass ...

Eminent computational physicist Chen Hudong – an elected member of the US National Academy of Engineering (NAE) – has left the United States after more than four decades to take up a full-time ...

He was 88. “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Dr Rajagopala Chidambaram, an eminent physicist and one of India’s most distinguished scientists, this morning (4 January 2022) ...
