A research team led by Dr. Shen Jinhua from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has investigated rapid spatiotemporal vertical electric currents (VECs) ...

Experts believe the universe may have a built-in 'self-destruct button' called false vacuum decay which could destroy the ...

The universe has always seemed like a grand, unstoppable machine. From theories such as the Big Crunch to the long, cold ...

Under the right conditions, this collapse doesn’t end in a singularity — instead, it bounces and begins expanding again,” said University of Portsmouth professor Enrique Gaztañaga in a statement that ...

A team of scientists is proposing a bold alternative to the Big Bang theory, suggesting that our universe may have instead ...

On June 11, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine announced the result of a three-year study to set a ...

Normally, the Higgs is invoked only to explain how particles have different masses i.e. why a quark is heavier than an electron.. Cole thinks the Higgs’ field influence could reach much further.

The Higgs field plays a critical role in our modern theory of particle physics, known as the Standard Model. It simultaneously explains why the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces are separate, ...

field theory, the current influential framework of particle physics, argues that the universe is filled with electromagnetic fields, gravitational fields, and other fields, and the Higgs field is ...

To form a bubble, the Higgs field needs a good reason. Due to quantum mechanics, the theory which governs the microcosmos of atoms and particles, the energy of the Higgs is always fluctuating.

An international research team has sparked interest in the scientific community with results in quantum physics. In their current study, the researchers reinterpret the Higgs mechanism, which ...
