We review two possible affine extensions of gravity connected to the strong interactions. In the metric affine theory, torsion and nonmetricity do not propagate, gravitation is effectively unmodified, ...

Particle physics is difficult. It takes years of study in order to truly grasp it. Moreover, there is still a lot that even the most experienced experts don't understand (a whole lot, in fact). And ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is currently undergoing upgrades that will allow it to finally reach its intended top energy of 14TeV. When it comes back online, researchers will use it to probe the ...

It is unusual for TV news to open with a story about physics, but it happened on July 4, 2012, when all around the world stations chose to devote prime time to breaking news from Geneva: a search of ...

The Henryk Niewodniczanski Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences Electrons with 'colleagues' - other leptons - are one of many products of collisions observed in the LHCb experiment ...

Physicists at Cern have discovered a plethora of new exotic particles being created in the collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider over the past few years. So many have been found, in fact, ...

On September 10, 2008, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) fired up for the very first time. In the decade since, the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator has been responsible for ...

Gauge/string duality has emerged as a transformative framework for understanding the intricate dynamics of strong interactions. By establishing a correspondence between certain gauge theories and ...

As a physicist, I have spent my life hoping that nuclear power could realize its potential. My teachers were scientists who had penetrated the nuclear world for the first time. They told those of us ...
