These particles and forces are the subject of theStandard Model of Particle Physics. Scientists also get insights into the quantum physics that govern how the world behaves at incredibly small scales. In the quantum realm, the classical Newtonian physics that we live with every day is insufficient...
While realization of Majorana modes beyond mean field is plausible, we show that the challenge to quantum-control them is compounded by particle-conservation, and more realistic protocols will have to balance engineering needs with astringent constraints coming from superselection rules. Majorana modes ...

In physics,symmetryrefers to how particles behave when space, time, or quantum numbers are reversed. We’re used to seeing simple types of symmetry in everyday life. For example, a human face is very nearly symmetrical when reflected left to right. But a face is completely asymmetric when r...
Quantum entanglement is when two particles link together in a certain way no matter how far apart they are in space. Their state remains the same. (Image credit: MARK GARLICK/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY via Getty Images.) Jump to: Quantum entanglement FAQs Have we proven quantum entanglement?
Scientists say they can explain dark matter by positing a particle that links to a fifth dimension.While the “warped extra dimension” (WED) is a trademark of a popular physics model first introduced in 1999, this research, published in The European Physical Journal C, is the first to ...
was conceptualized as one way of articulating and portraying PCK that might be meaningful and accessible to science teachers. The study underpinning this paper is two-fold. First, it briefly considers the development of CoRes and PaP-eRs and the implications of these as both a methodology and ...
Physics, as an umbrella term for a large and diverse field, is a scientific discipline focused on the nature of matter and energy, as well as the interaction between matter and energy in the universe. Particle physics is just one of the many diverse fields under the physics umbrella....
Recent days saw the launch event of the second phase of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS), a national major science and technology infrastructure in Dongguan. With the commencement of the second phase, the CSNS is officially "expanding," significantly boosting its research capabilities, bro...
(Image credit: NASA/WMAP Science Team) WMAP and Planck measured omega with a great deal of precision, and cosmologists are very confident that the universe is flat. This prediction, as we've seen, is dictated by the critical density and general relativity. However, an international team ...
