Magnetic monopoles are elementary particles with isolated magnetic charges in three dimensions. In other words, they behave as isolated north or south poles of a magnet. Magnetic monopoles have ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In its first moments, the infant universe was a trillion-degree-hot soup of quarks and gluons. These elementary particles ...
