What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

In the development of particle physics, researchers have introduced an innovative particle encoding mechanism that promises to improve how information in particle physics is digitally registered and ...

The standard model of particle physics, which describes interactions between fundamental particles, is one of the greatest scientific accomplishments of the twentieth century. However, some aspects of ...

Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it’s more difficult. This is something physicists from Poland and the UK are well aware of. To ...

Kennesaw State University researcher Andreas Papaefstathiou has received a three-year, $799,651 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to investigate the nature of nuclear matter through ...

Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it's more difficult ...

Physicists at Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, have used supercomputer simulations to predict a specific gravitational-wave fingerprint that would confirm quark-gluon plasma forms inside the ...

The Aquila magneto-optical trap in QuEra’s facilities. Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the ...

Over time, particle physics and astrophysics and computing have built upon one another’s successes. That coevolution continues today. In the mid-twentieth century, particle physicists were peering ...

The unusually large Muon has threatened the Standard Model for decades, but new data parks the particle inside the cozy confines of established physics. Reading time 3 minutes Another nail may seal ...

Finn Stokes receives in-kind funding from the National Computational Infrastructure through the National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme. They are supported by a Ramsay Fellowship from the ...
