Shock wave dynamics and particle interaction constitute a rapidly evolving field that bridges high-speed fluid dynamics with particulate matter behaviour in a variety of industrial and natural ...

An international collaboration, including Northwestern University, has reached a critical milestone in the search for dark matter, the mysterious substance that makes up about 85% of all matter in the ...

Laser-assisted particle interactions and scattering represent a rapidly emerging field in high-energy and quantum physics, where the interplay between intense electromagnetic fields and particle ...

What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

Researchers at CERN have just upgraded their understanding on one of the rarest particle ...

In the race to uncover the deepest secrets of the universe, researchers are turning to powerful new tools. One of the most promising tools is the quantum computer. It offers a way to explore problems ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...

New research conducted by nuclear physicists is using a method that connects theories of gravitation to interactions among the smallest particles of matter. The result is insight into the strong force ...

The LHCb collaboration at CERN has confirmed the observation of an ultra-rare particle decay that has puzzled physicists for ...

Neutrinos are one of the most elusive and omnipresent particles in the universe. Their strange properties may explain why the amounts of matter and antimatter in our universe aren’t equal, as most ...

Particle size has long been a key method for characterization. Most particle size measurement techniques are indirect and assume that all measured particles are round when providing size results.
