Japan’s Particle Accelerator Achieves First Turns
Scientists at the SuperKEKB accelerator have succeeded at circulating beams of positrons and electrons in opposite directions to study particle collisions.
Scientific Success Can Happen Anywhere, Says Nobel Laureate Carlo Rubbia At GYSS 2016
Scientific success can happen anywhere and to anyone, says Carlo Rubbia, winner of the 1984 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Exotic ‘Four Neutron-No Proton’ Particle Confirmed
For the first time, researchers have confirmed the existence of a unique particle made up of four neutrons and no protons—the tetraneutron.
Japanese Physicist Wins 2015 Nobel Prize For Neutrino Research
Takaaki Kajita wins half of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics for proving that neutrinos have mass.
Protons & Antiprotons Appear To Be True Mirror Images
The most precise measurements of the mass-to-charge ratio of protons and anti-protons to date sets important constraints on the search for dark matter.
Dark Matter Déjà-Vu
Although no one has ever directly observed it, dark matter has been shown to bear a striking resemblance to pions, a more familiar type of subatomic particle.
Gravity-Like Interactions At The Nanoscale
Highly sensitive measurements show that gravitational attraction also holds at the nanoscale, at least up to 0.04 to 4 nanometers.
Self-Organization Without Static Interactions
Scientists have shown that self-organizing systems can be achieved through flow alone, challenging previous assumptions.
PandaX Team Report First Dark Matter Search Data
Although the first run of the PandaX experiment has not found evidence of dark matter, it places strong constraints on future work.
