Quantum field theory goes beyond quantum mechanics, incorporating the special theory of relativity and allowing the number of particles to change over time (such as when an electron and positron ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether ...

This week, more than 600 scientists met in Venice, Italy, to debate the future direction of European particle physics in the global context. The Open Symposium is an important step in the ongoing ...

Electron–positron colliders can be either circular or linear in construction. The dynamics of circular electron–positron colliders are radically different as the particles are 2,000 times ...

However, now we had a new tension: between our simulation and the electron–positron results which had withstood 20 years of scrutiny. How could those 20-year-old results be wrong?

New results resolve the long-standing anomaly of the muon’s magnetic moment – and may offer hints about the nature of dark matter.

Furthermore, it turned out that the physical vacuum is not empty but filled with virtual particles such as electron-positron pairs which appear all the time "out of nothing" but have to disappear ...

Our universe is filled with particles, such as electrons and protons, which make up all the stuff on our planet and beyond: ...
