A microscopic layer of environmental carbon solves a long-standing mystery about static electricity's true origins.

The ALICE Collaboration takes a step further in addressing the question of whether a quark–gluon plasma can be formed in proton–proton and proton–nucleus collisions. In the first few microseconds ...

A new subatomic particle known as the Ξcc⁺ has been discovered at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. This heavy proton-like particle contains two charm quarks and was detected using the upgraded LHCb ...

Abstract: In this paper, the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is applied to a particle tracking problem in the high energy physics (HEP) experiments, where the determination of position and momentum ...

In three-dimensional particle physics, elementary particles divide nicely into fermions and bosons. But in lower-dimensions, things aren’t so clear cut. These dimensions host a “third kingdom” of ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when reading this story: When you drill down into the very fabric of reality—where elementary particles make up the matter that is you and me and everything around us in three ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Do kaons decay using a new kind of physics? Researchers are trying to explain their anomalous findings. Their larger experiment is an ongoing ...

The National Science Foundation's massive IceCube neutrino detector at the South Pole just got a major new upgrade, which promises to take the search for "ghost particles" to a new level. When you ...

At the deepest level of quantum physics, particles may not be as independent as they appear. New theoretical work shows that nonlocal behavior can emerge simply because identical particles are ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that challenges our understanding of how the universe evolved. When you purchase through ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though quantum physics says their exact position is fundamentally uncertain. Now, ...
