(Â鶹ÒùÔº) —In order to study many complex phenomena, physicists seek to isolate them in potential wells or boxes with easily described forms and boundary conditions. These features in turn dictate various behaviors of ...
(Â鶹ÒùÔº) —Topological insulators (TIs) are an exciting new type of material that on their surface carry electric current, but within their bulk, act as insulators. Since the discovery of TIs about a decade ago, their ...
Â鶹ÒùÔºicists say they are now almost certain that the curious "Higgs-like particle" revealed last year at CERN is a Higgs boson.
(Â鶹ÒùÔº)—A trio of researchers has uploaded a paper they've written to the preprint server arXiv describing a way to improve recommendation engines, using principles from particle physics. The idea, they say, is to use ...
The discovery of the Higgs Boson, an invisible particle that explains the mystery of mass, leads a list of the top 10 scientific advances of 2012 released Thursday by the US journal Science.
How many matter particles exist in nature? Particle physicists have been dealing with this question for a long time. The 12 matter particles contained in the standard model of particle physics? Or are there further particles ...
(Â鶹ÒùÔº)—Â鶹ÒùÔºicists working at the Institute for Quantum Electronics in Switzerland have succeeded in building an apparatus that has allowed for the observation of the drop of resistance in the flow of a superfluid Fermi ...
(Â鶹ÒùÔº) -- Researchers at Stanford have been investigating the special properties of a Josephson junction when constructed as hybrid superconducting-topological insulator devices and have found what appears to be some ...
Interview with Sandra Kortner of the Max Planck Institute for Â鶹ÒùÔºics in Munich, who heads a Minerva junior research group at the ATLAS experiment of the LHC and also coordinates an international group of researchers who ...
The release Wednesday of dramatic new data pointing to the existence of the Higgs boson "God particle" sent a special flutter of pride, mixed with frustration, through India's scientific community.
