These minuscule, nearly weightless, swift particles generated during nuclear fusion events that fuel the sun and stars can address fundamental physics issues.
Sixty of the world's foremost particle physicists convened in Sudbury last week to chart the course of a burgeoning area of research that may significantly…
An innovative artificial intelligence algorithm has been designed to accurately predict the distribution of particles in a beam within a particle accelerator…
Along with scientists from Aalto University, Dr. Samuli Autti of Lancaster University co-authored a recent paper on quantum wave turbulence.
Scientists from an international experimental group claim to have found a new way to analyze the components within the nucleus of atoms, utilizing a novel…
A novel process for producing high-energy "quantum light" has been suggested; this light might be used to look at novel atomic-scale aspects of matter.
Researchers working on the MINERvA project, which aims to solve some of physics's biggest mysteries, have found a brand-new approach to look at protons.
The method is known as density functional theory (DFT). It is used to explore the electronic structure of many-body systems such as atoms and molecules in…
A physics puzzle has been solved with a conclusion that is roughly as stunning as "the butler did it." Physicists have debated for a decade why nuclear…
The year 2022 was a watershed moment for technological advancement and scientific discovery.
To understand why the neutrino can provoke a revolution, we need some history. In the early 1960s the situation in theoretical physics was, to put it mildly…
Ettore Majorana, an Italian physicist, infamously vanished in 1938 with no sign of him. Neutrinos, one of his favorite elementary particles, might be able to…
Astrophysicists have known for for a century that 85% of the mass of the universe is made up of a mysterious substance that exists in space in addition to…
As we discover more about black holes, dark matter, quantum mechanics, and other fundamental physics ideas, we frequently find ourselves having to doubt what…
Engineers from the United Kingdom are constructing a vital component of a multinational flagship experiment that will enable astronomers to answer fundamental…
Trillions of neutrinos are currently passing through you, all other people on Earth, and the whole planet itself as you read this page.
A recent neutrino experiment shows that the Standard Model is out of date and that there may be an undiscovered elementary particle.
The name Canfranc conjures up a variety of associations at once. From the splendor of its international train station to the scenery of the Aragonese Pyrenees.
Astrophysicists have come to the conclusion that cosmic inflation, which is commonly believed to have occurred shortly after the Big Bang, the enormous…
In collaboration with the Military University of Technology, the British University of Southampton, the Italian CNR Nanotec, and the University of Iceland…
An burgeoning discipline at the nexus of computer science, physics, and engineering, Christian Arenz seeks to unlock the potential of quantum computing.
In a world of ticking clocks and swaying pendulums, marking the passage of time is as easy as keeping track of the seconds between "then" and "now." But…
Just a few thousand light-years away, a relatively small, dense object that is shrouded in a cloud of its own exploded remains is defying the laws of stellar…
Three researchers were awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics for their ground-breaking work in understanding quantum entanglement, one of nature's most…
