Jun 20, 2025 · Oxford scientists have simulated light interacting with “empty” space—a strange quantum effect that sounds like science fiction but is rooted in real physics.

Aug 15, 2025 · At the 2025 European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics (EPS-HEP) in Marseille, France, research on the Higgs boson was a central focus. Among the highlights, the ATLAS collaboration unveiled two detailed studies that targeted exceptionally uncommon Higgs-boson decay processes.

Jan 8, 2025 · “The most exciting part is that this discovery unlocks a range of novel quantum phases of matter, presenting a new frontier for future research, deepening our understanding of fundamental physics, and even opening up new possibilities in quantum computation.”

Jul 16, 2025 · Researchers at the Institute of Modern Physics have, for the first time, precisely measured the mass of the elusive, neutron-deficient isotope silicon-22, uncovering evidence that its proton number 14 behaves as a new “magic” shell closure.

Aug 6, 2025 · Now, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK) in Heidelberg have made a breakthrough: using a detector weighing only 3 kilograms, the …

Sep 28, 2024 · Physicists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, have discovered an ultra-rare particle decay process, opening a new path to find physics beyond our understanding of how the building blocks of matter interact.

Feb 2, 2023 · This revolutionary hypothesis by Professor Andrzej Dragan and Professor Artur Ekert from the University of Oxford was presented for the first time in the article “Quantum principle of relativity” published two years ago in the New Journal of Physics.

Jul 21, 2025 · Why the universe is filled with matter instead of antimatter has long baffled physicists. A recent theoretical breakthrough offers tantalizing new insights, using symmetry principles and particle interactions to probe this cosmic imbalance. (Artist’s concept). Credit: SciTechDaily.com

Feb 12, 2025 · In a study published today (February 12) in Nature Communications, Professor Janne Ruostekoski and Dr. Kyle Ballantine from Lancaster University, along with Dr. Lewis Ruks from NTT Basic Research Laboratories in Japan, unveiled a new approach to controlling how atoms and light interact.

Jul 14, 2024 · New research confirms the Standard Model’s predictions about the Higgs boson while suggesting future data may reveal unknown aspects of particle physics. The Higgs boson was discovered in the detectors of the Large Hadron Collider a dozen or so years ago.
