Physicists Use Cheap Colliders to Probe for Heavy Photons
A three-week experiment is set to start on April 24th at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Newport News, Virginia, in which electrons will…

Particle-wave duality is one of the most mysterious facets of quantum physics. It states that every quantum object has properties of both a wave and…
A new Italian experiment indicates that neutrinos stay within the speed of light. The findings were posted on arXiv.org as a preprint, and contradict rival…
After tens of thousands of interactions of electron antineutrinos at Daya Bay, data revealed a new type of neutrino oscillation, which was measured with unmatched…
The elusive Higgs boson might have been spotted in the data collected by the Tevatron, a now shuttered collider at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois. The…
A new publication demonstrates that the dynamics of a system of ultracold potassium atoms, trapped in an optical lattice, depend surprisingly strongly on the particle…
It’s been reported that researchers in the Leo Kouwenhoven group, based out of the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, might have beaten several…
Back in September, the revolutionary claim that the OPERA collaboration had measured neutrinos traveling faster than the speed has light is now in doubt, as…
In quantum mechanics, entanglement allows two or more particles separated in space to have the same physical properties, which are correlated. This means that if…
In December, it was announced that the two main experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is still the world’s largest and highest-energy particle…
Quantum physicists from the University of Bristol and Hungarian Academy of Sciences have teamed together on new research that takes a step forward in understanding…
Physicists at the University of California, Riverside, have set forward lab experiments to determine if antimatter behaves differently in gravity than baryonic matter. This could…
The elusive Higgs Boson, frequently referred to (sometimes tongue-in-cheek) as the “God Particle” might not have been found yet, but it has fewer places to…
