The images shed light on how electrons form superconducting pairs that glide through materials without friction. When your laptop or smartphone heats up, it’s due…
JILA physicists make record-breaking measurement of a key electron property. In the first moments of our universe, countless numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons formed…
When any substance is fragmented into increasingly smaller segments, ultimately, you reach a point where division is no longer possible. At this point, you’re left…
Through gold nuclei collisions at varying energies, physicists have found that the creation of quark-gluon plasma—an exotic state of matter—halts at the lowest collision energy…
Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have used two-dimensional condensed matter physics to understand the quark interactions in neutron stars, simplifying the study of these densest…
Analysis of lightweight nuclei emerging from gold ion collisions offers insight into primordial matter phase changes. Physicists analyzing data from gold ion smashups at the…
New experiments with ultra-cold atomic gases shed light on how all interacting quantum systems evolve after a sudden energy influx. New experiments using one-dimensional gases…
New Insights on the Interplay of Electromagnetism and the Weak Nuclear Force Nuclear theorists have discovered a major effect in neutron decay related to weak…
Particle accelerators, machines that rapidly propel charged particles like protons, atomic nuclei, and electrons to study their collisions, have deepened our understanding of the universe,…
Researchers propose in a new study that the universe’s lack of clumpiness suggests dark matter is composed of hypothetical, ultra-light particles called axions. If confirmed,…
Theoretical physicists help expand the search for new particle — ‘axions’ — that could help answer one of the most puzzling questions in physics. One…
Physicist Daniel Harlow explores an alternate quantum reality in search of fundamental truths to our physical universe. Dan Harlow spends a lot of time thinking…
The LHCb collaboration’s new measurements of matter–antimatter asymmetry in decays of beauty particles are the most precise yet of their kind. The Big Bang is…
Particle accelerators, machines that speed up elementary particles, are pivotal in various sectors, including science, product development, healthcare, and national security. Utilized in over 30,000…
The experiments are the first of their kind and could lead to new advances in computing. A team at the University of Chicago has explored…
Scientists’ calculations indicate that bottomonium mesons, formed by a bottom quark and its antimatter counterpart, require temperatures above 5.8 trillion degrees Celsius to melt. This…
Neutrons are subatomic particles, with a neutral charge and slightly more mass than protons, found in the nucleus of every atom except hydrogen. When not…
