The universe looks like it is mostly empty space. Remove the stars, planets, dust, and gas, and what remains is nothing at ...

As they probe deeper into the heart of the atom, discovering ever smaller and more mysterious particles and particles within particles, scientists have succeeded in bringing the once stable world of ...

Professor of Theoretical Physics Risto Paatelainen from the University of Turku in Finland has spent nearly ten years working ...

Observational first: physicists have used the ATLAS experiment at CERN to observe the production of top-quark and photon pairs. (Courtesy: CERN) For the first time, particle physicists have observed ...

Physicist John Peoples Jr. was the third-ever director of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Batavia, and in his 10 years in charge oversaw efforts to boost the power of the Tevatron, a ...

MIT researchers have developed a classical physics-based formulation that can replicate solutions from the Schrödinger equation, a cornerstone of quantum mechanics. Demonstrated on quantum phenomena ...

Probing ever deeper into the inner world of the atom, nuclear physicists have uncovered an increasingly baffling collection of tiny particles. Besides the familiar neutrons, electrons and protons, ...

The CMS Collaboration investigated in detail events in which a top quark and an anti‑top quark are produced together in high‑energy proton–proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV, using the full 138 fb⁻¹ ...

This spring, at a meeting of Syracuse University’s quark physics group, Ivan Polyakov announced that he had uncovered the fingerprints of a semi-mythical particle. “We said, ‘This is impossible. What ...

Heavy-ion physics is a dynamic field that investigates the behaviour of matter under extreme conditions by colliding nuclei at relativistic speeds. Such collisions create a short-lived, ...

MOE Key Laboratory of Quark and Lepton Physics, CCNU has the following research output in the current window (1 December 2024 - 30 November 2025) of the Nature Index. Click on Count to view a list of ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Scientists have observed the Higgs boson interacting with the top quark, the heaviest known elementary particle, in an exciting discovery that deepens our understanding of why objects ...
