Virtual particles exploit the natural fuzziness of the subatomic world, where if these ephemeral particles live briefly ...

By levitating nano glass spheres with lasers, researchers observed pure quantum motion without cooling. The achievement could reshape sensing technology and deepen our understanding of quantum physics ...

Go visit a sacred ancient site, if possible one featuring a high density of megalithic architecture, and when you get back tell me, hand on heart, you didn’t feel something. Modern archaeology, for ...

While you’re there Check out the Netherlands’ oldest city, Dordrecht, and nearby De Biesbosch National Park, as well as ...

On Tuesday the field of quantum mechanics received a thoughtful 100th-birthday present from the Royal Swedish Academy of ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ...

Professor Chamkaur Ghag is driving efforts to detect weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), the prime candidates for ...

A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial. About a billion pairs of particles collide every ...

Located 700 meters underground near the city of Jiangmen in southern China, a giant sphere—35 meters in diameter and filled with more than 20,000 tons of liquid—has just started a mission that will ...

Ohio University provides a rare opportunity for undergraduate, graduate and Ph.D. students to work hands-on with a particle accelerator — the only one at a university in Ohio. OU’s Department of ...

A powerful new particle detector has passed its first major test in the hunt for clues about the early universe. The sPHENIX detector at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion ...

The sPHENIX detector is the newest experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and is designed to precisely measure products of high-speed particle collisions ...
