For decades, physicists have relied on the principle of symmetry to simplify and understand the complex behaviors of subatomic particles. Symmetry in physics basically means that some rules of nature ...

Initially regarded as a scientific curiosity upon its discovery in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, superconductivity has provided physicists with numerous theoretical challenges and experimental ...

Meet the short-lived particle that helps the sun shine. Visible matter is made from only a handful of particles, but many more are behind the scenes, affecting what those matter particles do. The W ...

Symmetry and invariance lie at the heart of modern physical theories, serving as guiding principles in our understanding of the natural world. These ideas are central to elucidating conservation laws ...

STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State Professor of Physics Dipangkar Dutta is a principal investigator on a groundbreaking experiment—revealing “symmetry” in physics doesn’t always behave as scientists ...

Even though neutrons love to partner with protons to make the nucleus of an atom, the particles have always been notorious for their reluctance to bind with each other. But according to a new proposed ...

Time-varying systems, materials with properties that change over time, have opened new possibilities for the experimental ...

Do kaons decay using a new kind of physics? Researchers are trying to explain their anomalous findings. Their larger experiment is an ongoing investigation of CP symmetry. The anomalies could be ...

The experiment involved infinitesimal particles of matter so slight and evanescent that they survived only a billionth of a billionth of a second. In their place they left still lighter particles that ...

A groundbreaking experiment--reveals 'symmetry' in physics doesn't always behave as scientists once believed. Mississippi State Professor of Physics Dipangkar Dutta is a principal investigator on a ...
