<p>Commins beschäftigte sich mit Atom- und Molekülphysik sowie Optik und der <a href="Schwache_Wechselwirkung" title="Schwache Wechselwirkung">Schwachen Wechselwirkung</a>. Seiner Gruppe gelang es nach über zehn Jahren Arbeit, eine sehr niedrige obere Grenze für das <a href="Elektrisches_Dipolmoment" title="Elektrisches Dipolmoment">elektrische Dipolmoment</a> des Elektrons anzugeben.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Die Existenz eines solchen Dipolmoments würde Hinweise auf Verletzung der P- und T-Symmetrie (P=Parität, T=Zeitumkehr) liefern und auf Erweiterungen des <a href="Standardmodell" title="Standardmodell">Standardmodells</a> der Elementarteilchen (zum Beispiel <a href="Technicolor_(Physik)" title="Technicolor (Physik)">Technicolor</a>-Theorien oder <a href="Supersymmetrie" title="Supersymmetrie">Supersymmetrische Theorien</a>).
