Researchers have simulated "false vacuum decay," a theoretical quantum process often called the "bubble of doom" that could ...

Physicists are rethinking how to detect elusive particles like neutrinos by combining existing technologies in unconventional ...

Some innovations in physics come from entirely new technologies, others from fresh theoretical insights. Others still take ...

Kennesaw State University researcher Andreas Papaefstathiou has received a three-year, $799,651 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to investigate the nature of nuclear matter through ...

Tiny grains of dust floating inside a glowing plasma should, according to decades of theory, push and pull on each other in ...

Dark matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics. Many theoretical proposals (axions, WIMPs) and 40 years of extensive experimental searches have failed to provide any ...

The unusually large Muon has threatened the Standard Model for decades, but new data parks the particle inside the cozy confines of established physics. Reading time 3 minutes Another nail may seal ...

Physicists are always searching for new theories to improve our understanding of the universe and resolve big unanswered questions. But there’s a problem. How do you search for undiscovered forces or ...

It is just over a year since Cern, home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), became the base for the three-year pilot phase of the Open Quantum Institute (OQI). The OQI is a multi-stakeholder, global, ...
