In three-dimensional particle physics, elementary particles divide nicely into fermions and bosons. But in lower-dimensions, things aren’t so clear cut. These dimensions host a “third kingdom” of ...

Some things are easier to achieve if you're not alone. As researchers from the University of Rostock, Germany have shown, this very human insight also applies to the most fundamental building blocks ...

Nobel and Templeton Prize-winning physicist Frank Wilczek explores the secrets of the cosmos. Read previous columns here. Electrons are the most elementary of elementary particles. In fundamental ...

The discovery of the Higgs boson provided insight into what gives elementary particles mass. The Higgs boson, a fundamental particle predicted by theorist Peter Higgs, is key to understanding why ...

An international research team has sparked interest in the scientific community with results in quantum physics. In their current study, the researchers reinterpret the Higgs mechanism, which gives ...

Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and the University of Oklahoma have pinpointed a one-dimensional system where such particles can exist and have examined their ...
