Physicists in Germany have carried out the most accurate measurement to date of the width of the proton. By examining a ...

The Pauli exclusion principle is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics and is essential for the structure and stability of matter. Now an international collaboration of physicists ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story. A new paper uses a simplified model to prove that gravity can be unified between quantum and standard physics. The simpler model still meets the established ...

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...

Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same ...

Researchers have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, which goes back to the Nobel Prize laureate Werner Heisenberg. The basis for the successful ...

If photons possess more quantum states than expected, it would overhaul our understanding of all particle physics – and now physicists have identified a way to test this radical idea in an experiment.
