Dipangkar Dutta receives funding from US Dept. of Energy and NSF. A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What ...

I’m lucky to learn firsthand about some of the world’s most cutting-edge technologies. I’ve seen artificial intelligence ace an AP biology test, long before AI became an everyday tool. I’ve seen ...

A team of Harvard physicists built the first-ever quantum computing machine that can operate continuously without restarting, achieving a major breakthrough in a field that could revolutionize ...

Neutrino lasers: It’s an idea that many physicists didn’t see coming. At first glance, physics suggests that it would be impossible to make a laser of neutrinos, famously elusive subatomic particles.

How many atoms are there in the observable universe? Current estimates point to a number we would write as 1 followed by 80 zeroes, or 10 80. If you peered inside each of these atoms and counted their ...

Overcoming discrimination in a mostly male preserve, she did groundbreaking work that showed experimentalist physicists where and how to look for new particles. By Katrina Miller Mary K. Gaillard was ...

The Abandoned Westinghouse Atom Smasher, located in Forest Hills, Pennsylvania, was part of a groundbreaking effort in nuclear physics during the 1950s. Originally built by the Westinghouse Electric ...

The first-known observations of matter–antimatter asymmetry in a decaying composite subatomic particle that belongs to the baryon class are reported from the LHCb experiment located at the Large ...
