In 1930, a young physicist named Carl D. Anderson was tasked by his mentor with measuring the energies of cosmic rays—particles arriving at high speed from outer space. Anderson built an improved ...

For years, quantum computers have been framed as the ultimate problem solvers, machines that would eventually crack any task that classical hardware could not touch. Now a new line of research is ...

First formulated in the late 19th century by Austrian physicist and mathematician Ludwig Boltzmann, this principle remains ...

In nuclear beta decay an up quark ‘u’ in a proton converts into an up down quark ‘d,’ turning the proton into a neutron and emitting a positron and a neutrino. This work affects interpretation of beta ...

An MIT-led team has found that data from “near-misses” at the Large Hadron Collider, long dismissed as background noise, can ...

Optics and photonics are central to many aspects of our lives. Refraction, emission and absorption of light within materials govern imaging, sensing, lighting and communications. However, many of ...

Answering any of these questions could open the door to new physics, or fundamental discoveries beyond the Standard Model. “Personally, I’m excited for portal models of dark sectors,” Kasieczka says, ...
