This will enable researchers here to move on to their ultimate goal: to find evidence of "new physics", which they believe will lead to a new, more compete theory of sub-atomic physics.

BBC: LHC upgrade to open up 'new realm of particle physics'

To remedy this problem, Kylie Catchpole of the Australian National University in Canberra and Albert Polman of the Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics in Amsterdam have been trying to redirect the light that falls onto the surface of a cell in such a way that all colours are efficiently absorbed.

ECONOMIST: Solar energy

At Los Alamos, a remote outpost in New Mexico, Oppenheimer gathered the finest minds in physics to develop and design an atomic bomb.

Although this might seem a little esoteric, discovery of this baryon provides further proof of the validity of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, and helps contribute to our understanding of atomic interactions.

FORBES: Large Hadron Collider Discovers Beautiful New Particle

My desperation is lessened, however, by some of the more quantum physics theory which seems to suggest that, if at a sub-atomic level quarks can be in two places at once, then logically there must be a parallel universe where NZ were 130 all out and we are about to win.

BBC: First one-day match as it happened

Recent discoveries in quantum physics support this startling point of view with new understandings about the thought-reactive nature of atomic structure.
