Anomalous results in particle physics experiments could be a hint to the existence of another five Higgs bosons, calculations have shown.
In the sixties Peter Higgs predicted the existence of a scalar particle of the Higgs field, and estimated it would be very heavy: it took decades for a particle collider...
The challenge with detecting dark matter is that the signal will probably be incredibly small – perhaps only a couple of particles per day. So it would be really easy to be fooled by some other signal, such as lead-210, which is radioactive.
Dr Anton Wallner is testing the crystals that will be used...
Physicists have devised a way to combine an atomic magnetometer with a gyroscope, using a pulsed laser system and a simple mixture of gases.
The new technique will not only be a radical improvement for precision measurements of rotation, but has the potential to be a powerful tool in the search for exotic...
Two physicists from the Research School of Physics (RSPhys) have received major recognition from the Australian Academy of Science.
Distinguished Professor Yuri Kivshar (Materials Physics) has been honoured with the Flinders Medal and Lecture, and Dr Daria Smirnova (Electronic Materials Engineering)...
