A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the ...

Dark matter is believed to make up a large fraction of the matter in the universe, yet its true nature remains unknown. Most ...

A new analysis reveals what happens when very short or narrow electron beams encounter a particle. The research is published ...

Jefferson Lab experiment E99-114 — the so-called Real Compton Scattering, or RCS, experiment — explores the scattering of few-GeV photons off the proton at large scattering angles, under which ...

Physicists have begun to explore the proton as if it were a subatomic planet. Cutaway maps display newfound details of the particle’s interior. The proton’s core features pressures more intense than ...

Everything on the electromagnetic spectrum has some properties of both waves and particles, but it’s difficult to imagine a ...

No one can question the impact of science on human civilization, and the importance of experimentation in science is equally undeniable. Some experiments confirm what we already know, others suggest a ...

A string of recent experiments has moved desktop-scale particle accelerators from theoretical curiosity to working prototypes, with multiple research teams demonstrating that laser-driven devices ...

Geneva, 4 July 2012. At a seminar held at CERN1 today as a curtain raiser to the year’s major particle physics conference, ICHEP2012 in Melbourne, the ATLAS and CMS experiments presented their latest ...
