In physics, there are two great pillars of thought that don't quite fit together. The Standard Model of particle physics describes all known ...

Muon radiography relies on the muon, a kind of subatomic particle very similar to the electron, except it’s about 200 times more massive and lasts only a few millionths of a second. Despite ...

Quantum plasmonic biosensors enable self-illumination for real-time, label-free diagnostics with scalable point-of-care applications.

Collaboration has obtained a high-precision cosmic-ray boron spectrum in the energy range of 10 GeV/n–8 TeV/n, and discovered ...

Silver-110’s decay reveals a promising path to measure antineutrino mass. New data could reshape future neutrino studies.

It's a regrettable reality that there is never enough time to cover all the interesting scientific stories we come across ...

Scientists are using trapped ions in cutting-edge experiments to hunt for signs of an undiscovered particle that might help unravel the mystery of dark matter. The Standard Model of particle physics o ...

As few as five electrons in a semiconductor can exhibit collective behaviour, forming a “Coulomb liquid”, according to ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung have discovered ...

By making electrons behave as waves, a collaboration of researchers from Israel and China has produced light with quantum effects, a necessary step towards controlling quantum computers ...

The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

Starting in 2005, pulses of trillions of neutrinos will be fired every 1.9 seconds from an Illinois particle accelerator. They will travel through 445 miles of earth to meet 10 million pounds of steel ...
