To pull off this classic Hollywood stunt, you gotta know your physics!

Cosmological first-order phase transitions are said to be strongly supercooled when the nucleation temperature is much smaller than the critical temperature.  The phase transition takes place slowly and the probability distribution of bubble nucleation times is maximally spread.

Linguistics led the UH Mānoa rankings at No. 10 in the U.S. and No. 22 in the world.

The study of CP violation is critical for understanding the asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the universe. This seminar presents the CP violation in Bs to J/psi Phi and D0 to KsKs decays measured with the CMS detector at the LHC using Run 2 data.

Peter Higgs has passed away at the age of 94. An iconic figure in modern science, Higgs in 1964 postulated the existence of the eponymous Higgs boson. Its discovery at CERN in 2012 was the crowning achievement of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics – a remarkable theory which explains the visible universe at the most fundamental level. Alongside Robert Brout and François Englert, and building on the work of a generation of physicists, Higgs postulated the existence of the Brout-Engler...

University of Edinburgh emeritus professor Peter Higgs, who was credited with the finding of the “God Particle,” has died at the age of 94.

View of an ATLAS collision event in which a candidate W boson decays into a muon and a neutrino. The reconstructed tracks of the charged particles in the inner part of the ATLAS detector are shown as orange lines. The energy deposits in the detector’s calorimeters are shown as yellow boxes. The identified muon is shown as a red line. The missing transverse momentum associated with the neutrino is shown as a green dashed line. (Image: ATLAS/CERN) The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 slotte...
