An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...

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 ...

You may think of physics as a way to explain the behaviors of things like black holes, colliding particles, falling apples, and quantum computers. But a small group physicists today is working on a ...

Effective field theory (EFT) and hydrodynamics together provide a powerful lens through which to view the collective behaviour of quantum systems. EFT offers a systematic approach to model the ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Does anyone understand quantum theory? The legendary Richard Feynman suggested that if you think you do, you haven’t understood it at all. But quantum theory is our best description of the microscopic ...

Peter Millington is a Senior Research Fellow in the Particle Theory Group at the University of Manchester, UK, where he holds a UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders Fellowship and a Royal Society ...
