A few days ago, I spotted a strange title on a physics paper, claiming to have produced negative mass. I gave it a read. No they didn’t, I thought to myself. I will not cover this interesting but ...

It’s often said in science that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Recent measurements of the mass of the elementary particle known as the W boson provide a useful case study as to ...

There’s something amiss with a mass. A new measurement of the mass of an elementary particle, the W boson, has defied expectations. The result hints at a possible flaw in physicists’ otherwise ...

After a decade-long analysis, a collaboration of physicists has made the most precise measurement of the mass of a key particle – and it may unravel physics as we know it. The new measurement differs ...

While it’s pretty high-concept physics, the team says the discovery could eventually open up a range of applications for ZrSiS similar to that of graphene. “It is a layered material, which means once ...

Assistant Professor of Physics Qiong Ma has been named a CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholar for 2022-2024, an honor that makes her a member of the organization’s 40 th anniversary class of 18 early-career ...
