This year we give thanks for the spin-statistics theorem. You will sometimes hear physicists explain that elementary particles come in two types: bosons, which have a spin of 0, 1, 2, or some other ...

Scientists have tested one of the major theoretical pillars of quantum field theory, the spin-statistics theorem. With a confidence level of 100 billion to one, they found that photons really are ...

The Dirac equation is monumental in physics, encapsulating so beautifully, in relativistic terms, the behaviour of a spinning electron, or indeed of any particle that has half-integer spin (Milestone ...
