The standard model of particle physics, which describes interactions between fundamental particles, is one of the greatest scientific accomplishments of the twentieth century. However, some aspects of ...

What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

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 ...

“Amaterasu” is the second most energetic cosmic astroparticle ever recorded (discovered in 2021 by the Telescope Array). *Current analyses show that the particle could originate from a nearby galaxy.

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 ...

The demand for immersive, realistic graphics in mobile gaming and AR or VR is pushing the limits of mobile hardware. Achieving lifelike simulations of fluids, cloth, and other materials historically ...

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 ...

Finn Stokes receives in-kind funding from the National Computational Infrastructure through the National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme. They are supported by a Ramsay Fellowship from the ...

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, ...

Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the point of breaking. Two teams of physicists have now used ...

No two snowflakes may be the same, but models that fail to take these variations into consideration often fall short when ...
