Aquila Booster outperforms Crab, exposes gaps in particle acceleration theory
High above Earth, in the thin air of the Tibetan Plateau, a giant observatory ...
A major obstacle in calculating the muon’s behavior is the strong force, the most powerful of the four fundamental forces, along with gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak force. It binds quarks ...
The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible. Tachyons are a ...
A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most ...
Black holes could be a hologram. In fact, the entire universe could be a hologram. At least, that's one part of the idea behind a recent study published in the journal PRX Quantum. The study is a ...
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Accepted scientific understanding is that particles like W and Z bosons (carriers of the weak nuclear force) derive their mass from interactions with ...
Plasma, the fourth state of matter, consists of a gas in which electrons are no longer bound to atoms, which allows ...
Scientists have made a particle physics discovery that they say could mean nothing less than the upheaval of our entire model of the building blocks of the universe—if their results can be ...
On December 6, 2016, a high-energy particle called an electron antineutrino hurtled to Earth from outer space at close to the speed of light carrying 6.3 petaelectronvolts (PeV) of energy. Deep inside ...
Ah, dark matter. Creator of the universe, sculptor of galaxies, great brewer of coffee (probably). There seems to be nothing it can’t do, or isn’t responsible for, but there’s just one problem: Where ...
From its resting place outside Chicago, Illinois, a long-defunct experiment is threatening to throw the field of elementary particles off balance. Physicists have toiled for ten years to squeeze a ...
