Somewhere beyond the Milky Way, a natural accelerator is flinging subatomic shrapnel toward Earth at energies that dwarf ...

Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and ...

Scientists spent decades chasing signs of a mysterious new force hidden inside the muon, one of nature’s strangest particles.

ALBANY, New York, April 12, 2024 (ENS) – The world’s most exciting cutting-edge Electron-Ion Collider, expected to generate fresh insights into the structure and behavior of atomic particles, will be ...

Mystery no more Artist’s conception of the magnetic moment of the muon – a sub-atomic particle similar to, but heavier than, ...

Dark matter particles could be mediators of the interaction between electrons and atomic nuclei, as shown by a study conducted by junior group leader, Dr. Konstantin Gaul, Dr. Lei Cong, and Professor ...

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics. If confirmed, these ...

As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is “When are you going to find something?”. Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...

Researchers from Prof. Steve Sibener's group have captured the first atomic-scale images of tin on niobium during the growth process of the next generation of particle accelerators, Nb3Sn. The study, ...

Atomic parity violation arises from the neutral weak interaction mediated by the Z boson, leading to tiny violations of mirror symmetry in atomic transitions. Such effects manifest as forbidden ...
