The goal of nuclear physics is to describe all matter from its simplest building blocks: quarks and gluons. Found deep inside protons and neutrons, quarks and gluons also combine in less common ...

Physicists may have yet another fundamental particle left to discover. When physicists at the Large Hardon Collider discovered the Higgs boson back in 2012, they’d found the last missing piece of the ...

The puzzling behaviour of a fundamental particle called a muon, which some scientists think could be a sign of new physics, might actually be explained by our current theories. That’s according to a ...

Stress is a very real factor in the structure of our universe. Not the kind of stress that students experience when taking a test, but rather the physical stresses that affect everyday objects.

Zoltan Fodor receives funding from DFG, BMBF. When the results of an experiment don’t match predictions made by the best theory of the day, something is off. Fifteen years ago, physicists at ...
