Columbia professors contributed to new research that seeks to understand an anomaly that has puzzled particle physics for ...

If I can understand the particle in a box, I can understand quantum mechanics, which means, maybe, I can understand, like, you know, life. This notion popped into my head three years ago, and it’s ...

The Higgs filled a gap with its explanation for mass. Knowing the exact characteristics of the Higgs allows scientists to make better guesses of the structure of the universe in the first 10 ...
