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 ...

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 ...

The future of fundamental physics research lies in observing the early universe and developing models that explain the new data obtained. The availability of much higher resolution data from closer to ...

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 ...

Protons accelerated almost to the speed of light can collide similarly to billiard balls. However, since protons are quantum particles, from measuring such collisions we can learn unobvious things ...

I'm teaching introductory Newtonian mechanics again this term, and as always I find myself fascinated by bits of the subject that my students are largely indifferent to. This week, that collided with ...

Billions of years ago the strength of the electromagnetic interaction was different at opposite ends of universe. That’s the surprising conclusion of a group of physicists in Australia, who have ...

The following essay is reprinted with permission from The Conversation, an online publication covering the latest research. Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass ...
