The Mathematical Structure of Particle Collisions Comes Into View
...Their method may help bring about new levels of predictive accuracy, which theorists desperately need if they are to move beyond the leading but incomplete model of particle physics. “They...
How Radio Astronomy Reveals the Universe
Radio waves, longer and less energetic than visible light, give astronomers access to some of the most obscure physics in the cosmos. If you ask an astronomer to choose the...
Virginia Trimble Has Seen the Stars
...on to become one of the first women to earn a doctorate in astrophysics at the California Institute of Technology. While she was there, she befriended Richard Feynman, who paid...
Particle Physicists Detect ‘Magic’ at the Large Hadron Collider
...place but are very capable of addressing.” This convergence of quantum information theory and particle physics “really is an emergent field,” said Regina Demina, a physicist at the University of...
How the Bits of Quantum Gravity Can Buzz
...Wilczek and Zahariade’s calculation is built on physics that few would disagree with. “We did a very conservative calculation, which is almost certainly correct,” said Parikh. “It essentially just assumes...
Physicists Argue That Black Holes From the Big Bang Could Be the Dark Matter
...come back to life. In one of the latest, published last week in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, Karsten Jedamzik, a cosmologist at the University of Montpellier, showed...
New Black Hole Math Closes Cosmic Blind Spot

Imaginary Numbers May Be Essential for Describing Reality
...predict the outcome of a famous quantum physics experiment known as the Bell test. The new research, which was posted on the scientific preprint server arxiv.org in January, finds that...
Why an Old Theory of Everything Is Gaining New Life
...description — the Standard Model of particle physics — constitutes physicists’ best current explanation for everything. It’s neat and it’s simple, but no one is entirely happy with it. What...
