He won a Nobel prize in 1979 for helping show that, just as electricity and magnetism are aspects of a single force, so electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force spring from a deeper electroweak ...

‘electroweak’ model. Weinberg (and, independently, theorist Abdus Salam) surmised that, at extremely high energies, these two superficially different types of interaction should be intertwined ...

Cold non-baryonic dark matter appears to make up 85% of the matter and 25% of the energy in our universe. However, we don’t yet know what it is. As the opening of many research proposals state, “The ...

In the 1860s, James Clerk Maxwell recognized the similarities between electricity and magnetism and developed his theory of a single electromagnetic force. A similar discovery came a century later, ...
