A few days ago, I spotted a strange title on a physics paper, claiming to have produced negative mass. I gave it a read. No they didn’t, I thought to myself. I will not cover this interesting but ...

Negative mass is a hypothetical concept that says matter can exist with a mass opposite to normal matter. Instead of having a positive weight—1kg, for example—negative mass would weigh minus 1kg. This ...

Physicists have long treated mass as a basic ingredient of nature, something particles simply possess, even as the Higgs mechanism explained only part of the story. A new wave of theoretical work now ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Current theories suggest that W and Z bosons acquire mass from interactions with the Higgs scalar field, but a new study suggests that the higher ...

Ascending scale: sound waves rise as they travel through media. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Appler) A new theoretical study has revealed how sound waves transfer small amounts of mass as they travel.

Newton's laws of motion, often perceived as abstract, are actually evident in everyday experiences. The first law explains inertia, demonstrated by seatbelts in cars. The second law, F=ma, clarifies ...

Current theories suggest that W and Z bosons acquire mass from interactions with the Higgs scalar field, but a new study suggests that the higher dimensional structure of spacetime could be the actual ...
