The Pauli exclusion principle is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics and is essential for the structure and stability of matter. Now an international collaboration of physicists ...

Project Poltergeist led to the discovery of the ghostly particle. Sixty years later, scientists are confronted with more neutrino mysteries than ever before. In 1930, Wolfgang Pauli proposed the ...

Back when it was theorized, scientists weren’t sure they would ever detect the neutrino; now they’re searching for a version of the particle that could be even more elusive. In Germany in 1930, a ...

In December, 1930, a group of physicists convened a meeting in Tübingen, Germany to discuss the latest developments in nuclear physics. A logical person to have at such a meeting would've been ...

The Pauli exclusion principle is a law of quantum mechanics introduced by Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli, which offers valuable insight about the structure of matter. More specifically, the Pauli ...

NOVA explores the 70-year struggle so far to understand the most elusive of all the elementary particles, the neutrino. relates how the neutrino first came to be theorized by physicist Wolfgang Pauli ...

Today, quantum optical experiments provide methods to prove the rules that have been thought of and pressed into elegant mathematical equations in those days, say scientists. The microcosm is governed ...

IN 1930, Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli set out to solve a mystery. The variability of energy values for beta particles, defying the basic scientific principles of conservation of energy and ...

Blue blocker: blue laser light is used at JILA to measure how quantum statistics can affect light scattering in an ultracold gas of strontium atoms. (Courtesy: Christian Sanner, Ye labs/JILA) A ...

Born in 1900, Wolfgang Pauli’s debut as a physicist came in 1921 with the publication of a review paper on relativity so thorough and incisive that Einstein wrote of it “No one studying this mature, ...
