Initially, these technical skills helped Pindo become a device engineer for a hardware company, before making the switch to ...

From living matter to molecules to elementary particles, the world is made of “chiral” objects that differ from their ...

The Large Hadron Collider is one of the biggest experiments in history, but it’s also one of the hardest to interpret. Unlike ...

THE neutron is usually looked upon as an aggregate of a proton and an electron. If it were so, there ought to be a strong tendency for hydrogen atoms to be converted spontaneously into neutrons ...

Quantum field theory goes beyond quantum mechanics, incorporating the special theory of relativity and allowing the number of particles to change over time (such as when an electron and positron ...

Laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) is a plasma-based electron beam accelerator technology that can deliver electron beams with energies up to several GeVs, depending mainly on the power of the used ...

This week, more than 600 scientists met in Venice, Italy, to debate the future direction of European particle physics in the global context. The Open Symposium is an important step in the ongoing ...

A review of the current status of electron and positron storage rings is presented. The experimental results on beam instabilities, their consequences on the design of a high current sto rage ring and ...

The ATLAS collaboration finds evidence of Higgs-boson decays to muons and improves sensitivity to Higgs-boson decays to a Z ...

The final Fermilab measurement is (116592070.5 ± 11.4  (stat.) ± 9.1 (syst.) ± 2.1  (ext.)) × 10 –11, fully consistent with ...
