Laser-induced alignment boosts single-particle imaging by improving molecular orientation, enabling clearer 3D structure recovery of proteins and macromolecules. (Nanowerk News) Single-particle ...

Scientists at CERN's ALICE detector are replicating conditions found during the Big Bang, attempting to get to the bottom of how matter came to dominate over antimatter. When you purchase through ...

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be ...

Researchers have taken atomic diffraction to a new level, revealing surprising behaviors in high-energy helium and hydrogen ...

Fundamental particles fall within two camps—fermions or bosons—but a new study suggests that hypothetical paraparticles could exist in a kind of inbetween. Although technically quasiparticles, this ...

The 16-part course, currently in its pilot phase, is catered to high school students but available to anyone interested in learning about the fundamental questions in particle physics. Jeff Wiener ...

Once in a very great while, an ephemeral particle called a kaon arises and then quickly decays away into three other obscure entities. Whether or not this happens in a particular way has very little ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Scientists at CERN, the home of the Large Hadron Collider, have just observed an astoundingly rare phenomenon at the subatomic level that could lead to a new understanding of the standard model of ...
