Predicting the properties of subatomic particles before their experimental discovery has been a big challenge for physicists. Predicting the properties of subatomic particles before their experimental ...

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

The minuscule and the immense can reveal quite a bit about each other. In particle physics, scientists study the properties of the smallest bits of matter and how they interact. Another branch of ...

Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a superposition of multiple states, as popularized by the Schrödinger's cat analogy, ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I cover the physics of nothing, everything, and the stuff in between. The new experimental measurement involved the magnetic ...

Upton, NY - By teasing out signatures of particles that decay just tenths of a millimeter from the center of a trillion-degree fireball that mimics the early universe, nuclear physicists smashing ...

Scientists have made an unprecedented close examination of the electron, providing fascinating new insights into the nature of particles, energy and forces at infinitesimally small scales. A ...

Black holes have properties characteristic of quantum particles, a new study reveals, suggesting that the puzzling cosmic objects can be at the same time small and big, heavy and light, or dead and ...

Predicting the properties of subatomic particles before their experimental discovery has been a big challenge for physicists. In a recent paper published on 28 July in Physical Review Letters Nilmani ...

Particle collisions at RHIC -- a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility located at DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory -- regularly recreate tiny specs of quark-gluon plasma ...
