Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...

Quantum computers are beginning to become powerful tools for studying some of the most fundamental forces in the universe – and some of the trickiest to understand. Two experiments have used them to ...

For over a decade, confusion over the size of the proton has held scientists back. Disagreeing measurements of the subatomic particle’s radius meant that scientists couldn’t test one of their key ...

The field of particle physics is approaching a critical horizon defined by challenges including unprecedented data volumes and detector complexity. Upcoming ...

Researchers have developed a novel high-energy particle detection instrumentation approach that leverages the power of quantum sensors -- devices capable of precisely detecting single particles. To ...
