How did the universe come into being? There are a multitude of theories on this subject. In a Physical Review Letters paper, ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

Particle physics is the study of the elementary building blocks of matter and radiation and their interaction. The fundamental particles are summarised by the standard model. This includes leptons ...

As a kid, did you ever play that game Guess Who? If you haven't, it's actually kinda fun. You have two players, each with a board in front of them. On the board are a bunch of flip cards with ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics. John Clarke, ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Trapped and squeezed: A single nanoparticle made of glass (a white point near the centre of the photo) is confined in an optical potential created with a focused laser beam. By detecting the light ...

Quantum entanglement is one seriously long-distance relationship. Quantum entanglement occurs when two subatomic particles become linked in such a way that their properties remain connected, no matter ...

CARBONDALE, Ill. (KFVS) - Former U.S. Senator from Illinois Carol Moseley Braun is set to visit Carbondale for a special presentation. Braun will be discussing her pioneering career and new memoir at ...

STAR at RHIC The experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory has revealed hints of a critical point in the phase transition of nuclear matter. (Courtesy: BNL) In a major advance for nuclear physics, ...
