Researchers in the Oregon State University College of Engineering have developed new technology for uranium enrichment measurement and trace element detection, vital for nuclear nonproliferation and supporting the development ...
The ATLAS collaboration finds evidence of Higgs-boson decays to muons and improves sensitivity to Higgs-boson decays to a Z boson and a photon.
In physics, there are two great pillars of thought that don't quite fit together. The Standard Model of particle physics describes all known fundamental particles and three forces: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, ...
Time, not space plus time, might be the single fundamental property in which all physical phenomena occur, according to a new theory by a University of Alaska Fairbanks scientist.
An international team of researchers, including members from the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU, WPI), has directly observed "highly charged muonic ions," a completely new class ...
Sharing disappointing results with a world of researchers working to find what they hope will be the "discovery of the century" isn't an easy task, but that is what Penn State theoretical physicist Zoltan Fodor and his international ...
The LHCb experiment has taken a leap in precision physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In a new paper submitted to Physical Review Letters and currently available on the arXiv preprint server, the LHCb collaboration ...
Physicists are always searching for new theories to improve our understanding of the universe and resolve big unanswered questions.
Final results from a long-running U.S.-based experiment announced Tuesday show a tiny particle continues to act strangely—but that's still good news for the laws of physics as we know them.
Cosmic rays are high-energy particles from outer space that strike Earth's atmosphere, generating showers of secondary particles, such as muons, that can reach the planet's surface. In recent years, ground-based experiments ...
