A light source (left) sends a beam of light through a special material, which changes the direction of polarization — by an angle that is…
Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that is believed to make up a large portion of the universe. It is called “dark” because…

More than a century after it was first theorized, scientists have completed Einstein’s homework on special relativity in electromagnetism. Osaka University researchers show the relativistic…
Two of tritium’s three nucleons can form short-range correlations that include a proton and one of its neutrons or two neutrons. Credit: DOE’s Jefferson Lab…
New experiments hone in on a never-before-measured region of strong force coupling, a quantity that supports theories accounting for 99 percent of the ordinary mass…

Dark matter was proposed to explain why stars at a galaxy’s far edge were able to move much faster than predicted with Newton. An alternative…
Event recorded with the CMS detector in 2012 at a proton-proton center of mass energy of 8 TeV. The event shows characteristics expected from the…
Large Hadron Collider Successfully Restarted at Record Energy: Revving Up the Search for Dark Matter
The Large Hadron Collider detectors started recording high-energy collisions at the unprecedented energy of 13.6 TeV. The Large Hadron Collider is once again delivering proton…
New results from the Baksan Experiment on Sterile Transitions (BEST) experiment confirm anomaly suggesting new physics possibility. Sterile neutrino, physics fundamentals among interpretations of anomalous…
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…
