Researchers at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility are collaborating with Nvidia to develop better quantum chromodynamics codes for GPUs. Using QCD simulations, they hope to better ...

Sebastian Mizera just joined the physics department as an assistant professor, researching quantum field theory.

Predicting the properties of subatomic particles before their experimental discovery has been a big challenge for physicists. Predicting the properties of subatomic particles before their experimental ...

Imagine trying to prove that 1+1=2, but when you do the calculations, it turns out that the result is off by 0.1%. That scenario is similar to the riddle that’s facing physicists worldwide as they try ...

Physicists may have yet another fundamental particle left to discover. When physicists at the Large Hardon Collider discovered the Higgs boson back in 2012, they’d found the last missing piece of the ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. One of the biggest questions in particle physics is whether the ...

The puzzling behaviour of a fundamental particle called a muon, which some scientists think could be a sign of new physics, might actually be explained by our current theories. That’s according to a ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Scientists show how quantum computing could be a game-changer in our understanding of quantum processes. When two heavy ions collide inside a particle accelerator, they produce a near-perfect fluid ...

When it comes to talent, versatility and the power to change the world, which atomic particle is the champ? Read what our four contenders have to say—then you decide. Physics fans, are you ready to ...

A pair of physicists announced the discovery of a subatomic event so powerful that the researchers wondered if it was too dangerous to make public. The explosive event? The duo showed that two tiny ...
