Quantum chaos used to be the kind of phrase that made experimental physicists wince, a shorthand for fragile devices going off the rails when too many particles started talking to each other. Now a ...

Nearly a century after Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr turned a technical disagreement into a philosophical duel, a new ...

Experimental particle physicists working at the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory have found ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...

Complex fluids, such as polymer melts and concentrated suspensions, are foundational materials for industrial products, ...

Manufacturing complex fluids industrially often involves mechanical forces that introduce internal stress and damage ...

Learning how a physical system behaves usually means repeating measurements and using statistics to uncover patterns. That ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If there’s one law of physics that seems easy to grasp, it’s the second law of thermodynamics: Heat flows spontaneously from hotter ...

A team of young scientists paused their new physics searches to develop an innovative machine-learning tool, which is now helping them narrow in on a rare and messy decay of the Higgs boson. Physicist ...

Frank Paul Calaprice, an emeritus professor of physics, died on June 30, days before his 86th birthday. Over the past 55 years, Calaprice’s research, discoveries, global collaborations, mentorship and ...

In this tutorial, we will study a technique, similar to that based on the cyclotron resonance, tested by some Russian physicists. The experimental technique based on cyclotron resonance for measuring ...

Physicists have nailed a fiendishly difficult measurement — the mass of the fundamental particle the W boson. The result, from the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is in line with ...
