In the strange and fascinating world of quantum mechanics, particles have long been sorted into just two types: fermions and ...

Under ultracold conditions, bosons form a curious state of matter known as a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), in which all the ...

When you think of oceans you probably think of water, but the most massive reservoir of liquid in the solar system is made ...

They follow a strict rule that keeps them from piling into the same spot, a rule called the Pauli exclusion principle. That’s why your chair doesn’t let you fall through it when you sit down.

However, fermions are standoffish (or “subatomic cats,” according to Lincoln) because two fermions cannot be in the same place at the same time due to the Pauli exclusion principle ...

This paper explores the first principles of fundamental physics, focusing on the principle of relativity, the principle of least action, and the principle of regularity. By illustrating the principle ...
