An artist’s impression shows two translucent orbs, which represent tin nuclei, colliding and shattering in a shower of colorful shards. Amidst these shards, which represent…
In the physics of the very tiny, strange quantum concepts apply. Electrons act as both particles and waves and it is therefore impossible to know…
A qubit (the small rectangle) is set onto a sapphire substrate, which sits upon a fingertip to show scale. Fermilaband University of Chicago scientists used…
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will probe the internal structure of nuclear matter as it exists today. Electrons colliding with ions will exchange virtual photons with…
“If you jump onto and then down from a carousel, you can steal energy from the carousel,” says co-author Salvatore Vitale. “These bosons do the…
In the recent past, space missions dedicated to the study of astrophysical signals in the high-energy spectrum revealed a series of enigmatic excesses not predicted…
Heart of darkness: A view of the accretion disc around the supermassive black hole, with jet-like structures flowing away from the disc. The extreme mass…
If you hold up five fingers in a mirror, and your reflection holds up four, that is a parity violation! Credit: Jennifer Lauren Lee/NIST In…
Co-authors dr. Arunlibertsen Lawzer i dr. Thomas Custer of research demonstrate the molecules of the astrochemical interest at the Planetarium of the Copernicus Science Centre.…
The Muon g-2 storage ring at Fermilab, where scientists conduct experiments to better understand the properties of the muon and probe the Standard Model of…
The long-awaited first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory show fundamental particles called muons behaving…
Artist’s conception of the mystery of the magnetic moment of the muon — a sub-atomic particle similar to, but heavier than, an electron (represented by…
Particle physicists use lattice quantum chromodynamics and supercomputers to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. Peer deeper into the heart of the atom than…
Photons with an energy of 200 teraelectronvolts are most likely emitted by protons colliding with interstellar gas. The primary source of protons is pulsar HAWC…
