An interdisciplinary team led by Boston College physicists has discovered a new particle – or a previously undetectable quantum excitation – known as the axial…
Antiprotonic helium atom suspended in liquid helium in the superfluid state. The antiproton is protected by the electron shell of the helium atom and so…
Credit: SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory The new facility, LCLS-II, will soon sharpen our view of how nature works on ultrasmall, ultrafast scales, impacting everything from…
A recent series of precise measurements of already known, standard particles and processes have threatened to shake up physics. As a physicist working at the…
Quantum computers are especially adept at simultaneously considering large numbers of possible combinations, but the instability of qubits in modern devices contributes to errors in…
Scattering processes that can occur in the proton collisions made in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN show a new and surprising duality in theoretical…
As electrons accelerated by Alfvén waves stream along the Earth’s magnetic field (yellow drops), they collide with oxygen atoms (white dots) and molecules of oxygen…
An experiment has been designed that could confirm the fifth state of matter in the universe — and change physics as we know it. If…
