The Theoretical Advanced Study Institute in Elementary Particle Physics (TASI) recently concluded its 40th year, bringing 65 students from around the world to Boulder to delve into the “Frontiers of ...

For more than half a century, particle physicists have theorized the existence of a “glueball,” a particle made entirely of gluons. While the past few decades have produced some compelling candidates, ...

A straightforward math tweak could bring tachyon fields into line with the rest of physics. Tachyons are faster-than-light particles, and tachyon fields are special cases of quantum field. The math ...

In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the University of Cambridge. The lecture was called ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Gravity can turn itself into light, but only if space-time behaves in just the right way, a research team has found. Under normal circumstances, you cannot get something from nothing. Specifically, ...

Whenever SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's linear accelerator is on, packs of around a billion electrons each travel together at nearly the speed of light through metal piping. These electron ...

Nobel prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs, who proposed the existence of the Higgs boson particle, has died at age 94, the University of Edinburgh said Tuesday. The university, where Higgs was ...

On July 4, 2012, researchers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland announced with great fanfare that they had ...

NEW YORK (AP) — Final results from a long-running U.S.-based experiment announced Tuesday show a tiny particle continues to act strangely — but that’s still good news for the laws of physics as we ...
