Scientists at CERN have observed an unexpected phenomenon within the world’s largest particle accelerator that suggests that the heaviest and shortest-lived particles in the universe may not be as ...

Scientists are unlocking new secrets of the universe with tiny particles called plasmons. These plasmons allow researchers to confine powerful electromagnetic energy within spaces smaller than a grain ...

The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

Physicists share a common interest in understanding how the physical world works. For example, when a particle physicist breaks apart a particle into smaller pieces, they ask themselves: are those the ...

Smashing subatomic particles together at near-light speeds has long been the best way to understand the universe’s fundamental building blocks. These high-energy collisions, conducted inside massive ...

Researechers are testing superconducting microwire single-photon detectors (SMSPDs) for use in future particle physics exepriments. The detectors, which were designed and fabricated at JPL and ...

CERN, the scientific research organization behind the world’s largest particle physics laboratory, has opened a quantum networking lab. At an event celebrating the lab’s launch, CERN teamed with Dutch ...

Microsoft has published the culmination of 20 years of research into subatomic particles, known as Majorana fermions, which it aims to use to build a million-qubit quantum computer. The research has ...
