Two ghostlike particles, neutrinos and photons, are emerging as unlikely combatants in a quiet revolution in physics. New ...

In the race to uncover the deepest secrets of the universe, researchers are turning to powerful new tools. One of the most promising tools is the quantum computer. It offers a way to explore problems ...

New research conducted by nuclear physicists is using a method that connects theories of gravitation to interactions among the smallest particles of matter. The result is insight into the strong force ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Tiny solid particles – like pollutants, cloud droplets and medicine powders – form highly concentrated clusters in turbulent environments like smokestacks, clouds and pharmaceutical ...

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

For centuries, scientists have been on a thrilling quest to understand the universe's building blocks. At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) smashes ...

New research could tell us about particle interactions in the early universe and even hint at new physics. Much of the matter in the universe is made up of tiny particles called quarks. Normally it’s ...

Force spectroscopy relies on the precise measurement of forces acting on a probe as it interacts with a sample. The key principles of force spectroscopy include: AFM-based force spectroscopy is the ...

What mysteries of the universe could the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator unlock? The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) near ...
