Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...

In our 3D space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction gets a bit murky.

ABSTRACT: The origin of the minuscule masses of the known neutrino flavors is an important open question in particle physics. The neutrino-family flavor mass sum is bound by several data-based ...

Abstract: Accurately estimating the failure state and predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of a system are important for effective predictive maintenance, and the particle filter (PF) method has ...

This kind of ‘magic’ could lead to a computer revolution.

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 Sun unleashes a torrent of charged particles. Some of them slam into the Earth’s atmosphere, triggering breathtaking auroras in the night sky. But for equipment that’s orbiting our planet in outer ...

The dynamic fluctuations of energy fields in the quantum vacuum that are associated with the fleeting emergence of spin-aligned quark/antiquark pairs.Valerie A. Lentz/Brookhaven National Laboratory US ...

A window into how visible matter emerges from the "nothing" of vacuum has been opened by physicists at the Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in New York. The ...

Elementary particle physics reflects the human quest to understand the basic building blocks of nature and the rules that govern the physical world. This quest has led not only to critical scientific ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that particles of matter emerging from energetic subatomic smashups retain a key ...

In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been impossible. In fact, there are no known sources anywhere in the universe ...
