An unexpected finding about how our universe formed is again raising the question: do we need new physics? The answer could fundamentally change what physics students are taught in classes around the world.
A newly discovered cluster-scale strong gravitational lens, with a rare alignment of seven background lensed galaxies, provides a unique opportunity to study cosmology.
Her father was a renowned physicist who studied black holes, and her mother is a prominent molecular biophysicist. You could say that physics is in her DNA. But physics isn’t the only thing in Illinois Grainger Engineering professor Smitha Vishveshwara’s blood; so are the arts.
Van Gogh’s brushstrokes in “The Starry Night” create an illusion of sky movement so convincing it led researchers to wonder how closely it aligns with the physics of real skies. Marine sciences and fluid dynamics specialists analyzed the painting to uncover what they call the hidden turbulence in the artwork.
Physicists on the CMS experiment announce the most elaborate mass measurement of a particle that is notoriously difficult to study and has captivated the physics community for decades.
Greg Hammett and Bill Dorland have been awarded the 2024 James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics for their pioneering work on turbulence in plasma, a key challenge in the quest for fusion energy.
Scientists uncover new experimental data that will help them better understand how heavy elements are created in stars and the processes that shape the chemical makeup of the universe.
How the brain works is a question that has intrigued scientists for centuries, raising multiple hypotheses and theories. In 1996, statistical physicists attempted to explain how the brain uses a combination of excitatory and inhibitory connections to reach a balanced network similarly to magnetic models.
The Department of Energy’s Office of Science has selected Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientist Matthew Loyd for an Early Career Research Program award.Loyd, an R&D staff scientist in the Neutron Technologies Division, was selected by the Basic Energy Sciences program for his proposal, “Development of a Novel High-Count-Rate, High-Resolution Neutron Camera with Advanced Gamma Discrimination Capabilities.
Scientists have developed a blueprint for producing ultrabright and ultrashort pulses of electron beams for the next generation of particle accelerators, plasma wakefield accelerators (PWFA). This could enable new scientific tools such as X-ray free-electron-lasers (XFELs) that can see matter at smaller scales and faster speeds than now possible.
After years of preparation, the first neutrinos have been observed by the Short-Baseline Near Detector collaboration. The data SBND collects will expand our knowledge of how neutrinos interact with matter and will be used to search for evidence of new physics.
After nearly a decade of preparation, scientists – including researchers from Rutgers University – have turned on a new apparatus capable of detecting a host of mysterious tiny particles. Researchers working on the Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Ill., have started up the new machine and begun detecting the neutrinos produced by Fermilab’s particle accelerator beams.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced the selection of 91 early career scientists from across the country who will receive a combined $138 million in funding for research covering a wide range of topics including artificial intelligence, fusion energy, and quantum.
A real-time adaptive optics system was developed, characterised and applied to measure the 3D flow field through an oscillating surface of a water drop on an opaque Gas Diffusion Layer. A case study shows that the system corrects successfully measurement errors of the flow field that are caused by the refraction of light at the time-varying water-air interface.
The Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) announced that they have experimentally verified that KSTAR's superconducting magnets maintain maximum performance even after 16 years of continuous operation.
An international team led by Professor Gong Xiao from the National University of Singapore has developed a groundbreaking non-volatile photonic-electronic memory chip, published in Light: Science & Applications.
Spin is an intrinsic property of the electron. When electrons spin in the same direction at a given time, the quantity is called polarization. Understanding polarization helps examine the structure of nuclei of heavy elements. Now, nuclear physicists have measured the polarization of an electron beam more precisely than ever before.
