Researchers used IBM’s quantum computers to create scalable quantum circuits that simulate matter under extreme conditions, offering new insight into fundamental forces and the origins of the universe ...

Kellogg Stelle was a professor of physics at Imperial College London for decades until his death last month. In 1977, he developed a particle theory of gravity that’s renormalizable, but the theory’s ...

At the turn of the century, it sounded as if string theory could give us big answers about the universe. Well… has it?

Particle physics is the study of the elementary building blocks of matter and radiation and their interaction. The fundamental particles are summarised by the standard model. This includes leptons ...

To say that neutrinos aren’t the easiest particles to study would be a bit of an understatement. Outside of dark matter, there’s not much in particle physics that is as slippery as the elusive “ghost ...

Cosmologist Professor Carlos Frenk tells Jim al-Khalili that equations give him the same feeling as listening to his favourite Beethoven symphony. Image: Particle ...

Experimental particle physics is the practical investigation of the fundamental components of matter and radiation. A crucial tool in the arsenal of the experimental particle physicist is the particle ...

So, you’re looking to get a handle on quantum mechanics, huh? It’s a bit of a beast, not gonna lie. But the good news is, ...

Every year in October our UCSB Physics faculty present an explanation of the Nobel Prize in Physics for that year.
