The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility are collaborating with Nvidia to develop better quantum chromodynamics codes for GPUs. Using QCD simulations, they hope to better ...

Eight decades after one of the weirdest discoveries in the history of science -- that subatomic matter is wavelike -- Austrian scientists are studying the same phenomenon on a much bigger scale, in ...

This fragility has been a formidable roadblock because the very properties that make quantum computers so powerful also make ...

For the first time, physicists have confirmed that certain subatomic particles have mass and that they could account for a large proportion of matter in the universe, the so-called dark matter that ...

To peer into the heart of the sun, a 13.7-meter-wide stainless steel shell lined with over 2,200 light-gathering sensors hides deep under a mountain in central Italy. Known as the Borexino experiment, ...

Doug Cowen is a professor of astronomy, astrophysics and physics at Pennsylvania State University; Derek Fox is an associate professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Pennsylvania State University; ...

Wolfgang Pauli, the Austrian physicist who predicted the neutrino’s existence, also won a Nobel, but not for the neutrino (he did a lot of other very important stuff). He might have won for the ...

What would happen if you stuck your body inside a particle accelerator? The scenario seems like the start of a bad Marvel comic, but it happens to shed light on our intuitions about radiation, the ...
