Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

An obscure theory of elementary particles proved to be key to China’s re-emergence as a scientific nation after the Cultural ...

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

Researchers have developed a new quantum theory of gravity which describes gravity in a way that's compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics, opening the door to an improved understanding ...

By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a research ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

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

The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible. Tachyons are a ...

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.

Mind = blown.
