Electrons DO NOT Spin
Quantum mechanics has a lot of weird stuff - but there’s thing that everyone agrees that no one understands. I’m talking about quantum spin. Let’s find out how chasing this elusive little behavior of the electron led us to some of the...

Is 'Perpetual Motion' Possible with Superfluids?
The weird rules of quantum mechanics lead to all sorts of bizarre phenomena on tiny scales— particles teleporting through walls or being in multiple places at once or simultaneously existing and not. Shame all this magical behavior...

The Equation That Explains (Nearly) Everything!
The Standard Model of particle physics is arguably the most successful theory in the history of physics. It predicts the results of experiments with a numerical precision unmatched by any other branch of science, and it does so almost...

This Might Be a Brand-New Kind of Star | Space News
Astronomers have theorized about an invisible star made up of theoretic particles in the past, but did we recently detect the gravitational waves of two of them colliding? Plus, extraterrestrial rocks from a decades-old mission keep...

Supersymmetric Particle Found?
With the large hadron collider running out of places to look for clues to a deeper theory of physics, we need a bigger particle accelerator. We have one - the galaxy.

Quantum Gravity and Gravitons: The Search for a Theory of Everything
We've gone through some of the main advancements in modern physics, which brings us to the here and now! What are physicists currently working on? One huge area of interest is developing a quantum field theory for the gravitational...

The Physics of Superconductors
How a superconductor works. Everything from the physics and some of the history as well. Superconductors were discovered in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes. It was discovered because it was made possible to liquefy helium which produced...

The Standard Model of Particle Physics
Once you start learning about modern physics, you start to hear about weird particles like quarks and muons and neutrinos. What are all these things? Why are there so many? How do we know they exist? What do they do? Within lies the...
