Supercomputers step particles through a virtual world to give a history of their movement. The results are compared to physical experiments. High energy physicists run on a treadmill that keeps ...
Forty years ago, Frank Wilczek was mulling over a bizarre type of particle that could live only in a flat universe. Had he put pen to paper and done the calculations, Wilczek would have found that ...
A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What happens to these particles within atoms would stay unexplained ...
When lasers were invented in the 1960s, they opened new avenues for scientific discovery and everyday applications from scanners at the grocery store to corrective eye surgery. Conventional lasers ...
In A Nutshell Scientists discovered a previously unknown form of mixing that occurs when large groups of dense particles settle through fluid, contradicting predictions from a long-accepted theory. A ...
