Since its inception in 2008, the LHC (large hadron collider) at CERN has been a key player in pushing the boundaries of ...

For the first time, scientists have caught a glimpse of a strange and elusive creature in the world of quantum physics—a semi ...

An impossible quantum structure has now been fabricated, potentially leading the way to new developments in quantum computing ...

University of Queensland scientists have cracked a long-standing puzzle in nuclear physics, showing that nuclear polarization ...

Particle physics is the study of the elementary building blocks of matter and radiation and their interaction. The fundamental particles are summarised by the standard model. This includes leptons ...

Now, some researchers hope to generate more powerful EUV beams with a particle accelerator that propels electrons to nearly the speed of light. The need for this radical proposal stems from a ...

The team found these shock waves to be among nature’s most powerful particle accelerators. These shock waves are born in plasma — a gas of charged particles that can conduct electricity and ...
