A new tabletop experiment using a single photon was proposed to show whether space-time is made up of indivisible units. Space isn’t smooth, and physicists…
While Sherlock Holmes might have stated that the absence of any evidence is evidence itself, theoretical physicists haven’t yet been able to find any inkling…
In July, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider announced the discovery of a new particle that looked like the Higgs boson. This particle was never…
Results from a newly published study may help scientists deliberately induce the high levels of damage needed to study extreme states of matter. Researchers using…
A photon can act as a particle one moment, following a well-defined path like a tiny projectile, and a wave the next, overlapping with its…
As research into ways to accelerate electrons with “X-band” microwaves rather than the S-band waves continues at SLAC, physicists have started commissioning the world’s most…
The Planck Satellite has observed a very unique emission of radio radiation from the center of the Milky Way, moving scientists closer than ever to…
Scientists have been able to generate the world’s fastest laser pulse with a beam shot for 67 attoseconds (0.000000000000000067 seconds). This breaks the previous record…
In what is deemed a crucial breakthrough, a team of international physicists was able to determine the strength of the shell stability in heavy nuclei…
By using a thin sliver of diamond to filter a laser beam to a single X-ray color, scientists have transformed the Linac Coherent Light Source…
A research team seems to have broken the most recent record of distance for quantum teleportation, posted by a Chinese research group. This new record…
Diamond is one of the toughest, naturally occurring materials found on Earth. Now, the Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, can…
With yesterday’s announcement of the likely discovery of the Higgs boson, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory takes a moment to reflect on how we got to…
To much fanfare and a packed press room, CERN physicists announced in the early morning of July 4th the discovery of a new particle that…
Two days before the announcement of the latest Higgs-search results from the Large Hadron Collider, scientists from the CDF and DZero collaborations have found their…
With the latest results from ATLAS and CMS set to be announced on July 4, there is a lot of speculation and excitement about what…
In the high energy physics community, rumor and speculation are rife that Large Hadron Collider scientists will announce the discovery of the Higgs boson during…
