NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks to Esra Barlas Yücel, a researcher at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, about Fermilab's most precise measurements of the muon particle's magnetic wobble. It's ...
Our universe may be hiding extra dimensions just beyond the reach of current experiments — and they could be the key to unlocking two of the most stubborn mysteries in physics. A new theoretical study ...
Time is the strange dimension: Unlike its spatial siblings, it is a one-way street as the clock only ever ticks forward and never backward. Scientists have long been aware of time's quirks, with the ...
In 2013, François ENGLERT and Peter HIGGS won the Nobel Prize in Physics for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles ...
Modern physics allows for the possibility of dimensions beyond the three we experience directly. If such dimensions exist, ...
Current theories suggest that W and Z bosons acquire mass from interactions with the Higgs scalar field, but a new study suggests that the higher dimensional structure of spacetime could be the actual ...
We tend not to dwell on the fact that we exist in three dimensions. Forwards-back, left-right, up-down; these are the axes on which we navigate the world. When we try to imagine something else, it ...
