In the last few weeks I've been working on a slightly more formal version of this post on black-body radiation for use in something else. One of the tricky things in writing about the development of ...

New measurements of a subatomic particle provide the strongest hint yet that the leading theory of quantum physics that explains our universe may be missing a fundamental element, scientists say. The ...

Bristol researchers, in collaboration with a multi-disciplinary team from Oxford and Strathclyde, have introduced a new scheme for speeding up quantum measurements, a vital building block for quantum ...

Physicists have nailed a fiendishly difficult measurement — the mass of the fundamental particle the W boson. The result, from the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is in line with ...

When hundreds of physicists gathered on a Zoom call in late February to discuss their experiment’s results, none of them knew what they had found. Like doctors in a clinical trial, the researchers at ...
