A new theory-based approach provides access to the minute transverse motion of quarks within protons. Nuclear physicists have developed a new theoretical framework that allows them to calculate a ...

"Wonderful, beautiful and unique" is how Gordon Kane describes supersymmetry theory. Kane, a theoretical physicist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, has spent about 30 years working on ...

Highly motivated students will assist in novel research into the statistics of aerosols in a unique flow-chamber through experiments using state-of-the-art high-speed lasers, high-speed tomography, ...

In the 10 years since the first detection of gravitational waves, we have detected hundreds of these waves produced by the collisions between very dense objects, either neutron stars or black holes.

Last year, the particle physicist Lance Dixon was preparing a lecture when he noticed a striking similarity between two formulas that he planned to include in his slides. The formulas, called ...

On December 6, 2016, a high-energy particle hurtled to Earth from outer space at close to the speed of light. It triggered the sensors of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a massive telescope buried ...

In 2016, Earth’s South Pole was struck by a ghostly particle from some unknown corner of the universe. This antineutrino — the neutrino’s antimatter twin — collided with an electron at nearly the ...

Theoretical physicists have established a close connection between the two rapidly developing fields in theoretical physics, ...

Engineers at CERN are closing in on the completion of a crucial test facility for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), a next-generation upgrade to the world’s most powerful particle ...
