Articles discussing the Standard Model of particle physics, including the basic particles and forces, details about the Higgs field, and explanations of key features of the Standard Model.
A recent study proposes that the universe functions as a vast quantum gravity computer, processing information at the Planck scale at an incredible rate, potentially influencing how physicists view cosmic interactions and energy conservation.
Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed an AI tool that transforms static textbook diagrams into interactive 3D simulations.
Physicists and computer scientists are using stochastic thermodynamics to understand the energy costs of computation, with implications for designing more energy-efficient devices.
A theory has been developed that characterizes how rattling is related to the amount of time that a system spends in a state, explaining self-organization in nonequilibrium systems such as bacterial colonies, protein complexes, and hybrid materials.
Researchers have developed a new mathematical formalism to visualize how electromagnetic waves collect information from objects they interact with as they travel. This property is widely exploited in various applications that rely on wave deflection, scattering, or reflection.
Physicist Sara Imari Walker is using principles of physics to redefine the concept of life. She introduces Assembly Theory, which measures molecular complexity to distinguish living from non-living systems. This approach could help detect unfamiliar life forms on other planets and better understand life on Earth.
A new model explains the small Higgs mass and the strong-CP problem by invoking a multiverse scenario. It predicts distinctive signals at hadronic EDM, fuzzy dark matter, and axion experiments.
The article discusses a phenomenon known as the "Dynamic Quantum Cheshire Cat Effect", which is a type of quantum effect that allows physical properties to be separated from the objects to which they belong. The authors show that this effect can be generalized to dynamical settings, where the property that is separated from the particle can propagate in space and lead to a flux of conserved quantity.
This article presents a white paper summarizing current knowledge on quantum gravity phenomenology and its multi-messenger signals. It provides an overview of the field, discusses experimental and observational signatures, and identifies key questions and challenges.
