Scientists are using trapped ions in cutting-edge experiments to hunt for signs of an undiscovered particle that might help unravel the mystery of dark matter. The Standard Model of particle physics o ...

Collaboration has obtained a high-precision cosmic-ray boron spectrum in the energy range of 10 GeV/n–8 TeV/n, and discovered ...

Two studies fill in gaps about the cosmos’s ordinary matter. One maps it all, even the “missing matter.” The other details one of its hiding spots.

Despite decades of searching, scientists still haven’t found the elusive substance that holds galaxies together: dark matter.

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

The discovery itself is simple and fundamental, but the applications stretch far and wide into astrophysics and quantum ...

Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...

After a brief introduction, students are instructed on how to build their own particle detector. Then they observe the tracks of particles made visible by the chamber. The session concludes with a ...

The married couple Ray and Charles Eames were not only successful architects, but also shaped the image of IBM with short and ...

The nature of the neutrino's mass is no small matter. It is directly connected with major questions in nuclear physics, ...
