Neutrinos are elementary particles that are predicted to be massless by the standard model of particle physics, yet their ...

A recent study finds that much of the cardiovascular disease seen in severely overweight people is driven by more than diabetes and high blood pressure.

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether ...

Quantum sensors have become important tools in low-energy particle physics. Michael Doser explores opportunities to exploit ...

This channel electron multiplier amplifies the faint signals generated in some types of mass spectrometry and other precision analytical techniques. Electrons are focused into the curved device, where ...

A prototype gas chromatograph (GC) electron monochromator (EM) reflectron time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer has been constructed and demonstrated to simultaneously record four-dimensional ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in ...

The higher the mass of fine particulates in the air, the more dangerous it is to breathe. The very narrow range for what’s acceptable here reflects PM2.5’s potency as a killer.

Scientists are using trapped ions in cutting-edge experiments to hunt for signs of an undiscovered particle that might help ...

By making electrons behave as waves, a collaboration of researchers from Israel and China has produced light with quantum effects, a necessary step towards controlling quantum computers ...

Silver-110’s decay reveals a promising path to measure antineutrino mass. New data could reshape future neutrino studies.

The invisible dark matter is one of the universe's biggest mysteries, and its existence is confirmed only by the ...
