Abstract: Particle pollution significantly compromises the safety and reliability of DC GIL and GIS equipment. Understanding the motion characteristics of particles is essential for addressing this ...

Unconvincing Manchester accent aside, Amanda Seyfried delivers a brilliant, primal performance as Ann Lee, the radical leader of a celibate religious sect that absolved sins through intense physical ...

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 particle collider smashes together atomic nuclei—comprised of particles called protons and neutrons—to break them into their smaller components. Tiffany Bowman / Brookhaven National Laboratory For ...

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 microscopic clump of sodium has become the largest object ever to be observed as a wave, improving upon previous records by thousands of atoms. Quantum physics defines particles in terms of waves, ...

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 ...

Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, unsettling uncertainties and—perhaps oddest of all—particles that spontaneously spring into being from the ...

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 ...

Fundamental particles called quarks can be created in quantum-correlated pairs. These correlations can be passed on to larger particles that form from the quarks. The strong force differs from others ...

At the deepest level of quantum physics, particles may not be as independent as they appear. New theoretical work shows that nonlocal behavior can emerge simply because identical particles are ...
