Can quantum antiferromagnets reveal secrets of bosonic supersolids?“One of the fundamental issues in physics right now – and for the past many years – is whether or not bosons can form a supersolid phase,” Frédéric Mila tells PhysOrg.com. Mila is a scientist at the Institute of Theoretical ... |
Physicists: After 30 years of study, rare particle confirms predictionHigh-energy physicists devoted to recreating the conditions at the beginning of the universe have for the first time observed a new way to produce those basic particles of atoms, protons and neutrons. |
 New Type of Retinol Cell Discovered in PrimatesScientists are one step closer to understanding how the retinas of humans and primates turn incoming light into coded messages communicated to the brain. |
Discovery of retinal cell type ends 4-decade searchA research team combining high-energy physicists from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and neuroscientists from the Salk Institute in La Jolla, Calif., has discovered a type of retinal cell that may help monkeys, ... |
Physics world shifts focus to SwitzerlandScientists at Fermilab in Illinois are racing to find the elusive Higgs boson particle before a giant new Swiss lab opens next year. |
New particle explains odd behavior in cuprate superconductorsNew fundamental particles aren’t found only at Fermilab and at other particle accelerators. They also can be found hiding in plain pieces of ceramic, scientists at the University of Illinois report. |
Back-to-Back b Baryons in BataviaScientists at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have announced the observation of the cascade b baryon-again. |
Computing Grid Helps Get to the Heart of MatterIn November, when physicists at CERN in Switzerland begin their grand experiment using the world's largest particle accelerator—the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC—computer scientists there and across the globe will also put ... |
Is the Vacuum Empty? -- the Higgs Field and the Dark EnergyThe problems in understanding the true nature of the “vacuum” of space were discussed by theoretical physicist Alvaro de Rújula from CERN (the European Council for Nuclear Research) in Geneva, Switzerland, and a professor ... |
Tevatron collider yields new results on subatomic matter, forcesScientists of the CDF and DZero experiments at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory presented on April 15 at the annual April meeting of the American Physical Society the latest results of intriguing ... |
Particle X in rare decay could belong to a new physics modelA particle that may mediate the rare decay of a Sigma-plus hyperon appears to have close affiliations with a light Higgs boson found in one supersymmetric model—an interpretation suggesting unambiguous evidence for physics ... |
Nobel laureate Burton Richter to speak about future of particle physicsParticle physics is about to transform our thinking once again. Experiments of the last 15 years suggest new forms of matter, new forces of nature and perhaps even new dimensions of space and time. Pinning down the new ideas ... |
A test for new physics, including string theoryDetractors of string theory have been deriding it for years, claiming that there is no way to test it. However, with a paper published in Physical Review Letters titled “Falsifying Models of New Physics via WW Scattering”, ... |
Physicists Develop Test for 'String Theory'For decades, scientists have taken issue with “string theory”—a theory of the universe which contends that the fundamental forces and matter of nature can be reduced to tiny one-dimensional filaments called strings—because ... |
 Precision measurement of W-boson mass suggests a lighter Higgs particleScientists of the CDF collaboration at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced today the world's most precise measurement by a single experiment of the mass of the W boson, ... |
