Atomic nuclei exhibit multiple energy scales simultaneously—ranging from hundreds down to fractions of a megaelectronvolt. A new study demonstrates that these drastically different scales can be ...

Leucippus' ancient atomic theory bears striking parallels to the modern Big Bang model showcasing his visionary perspective on cosmic origins ...

Plus: Stopping asteroids from hitting Earth, solving climate change with fertilizer and building strength by eating grapes.

Earlier this month Vodeb and his colleagues published the findings of their cosmic bubble simulation in Nature Physics. Using ...

Protons are far from simple particles — they are swirling cauldrons of quarks, gluons, and quantum entanglement. Scientists ...

A new optical fiber connection linking CERN and the French National Metrological Institute in Paris is now operational to provide a stable frequency reference for antimatter experiments. This ...

Researchers have announced results from a new search at the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (European XFEL) Facility at ...

Nearly half a century ago, physicists proposed that the universe might be trapped in a metastable state known as a false vacuum. This state appears stable but could, over immense timescales, ...

Ann Dunkin was CIO of the DOE for close to four years, leaving her post when the Biden administration departed office in ...

Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their ...

but is being transformed by quantum chemistry techniques – and specifically to model the interactions between proteins and their ligands in silico. While the physics of how molecules behave is ...

New X-ray experiment at the European XFEL could solve some of the mysteries of physics. https://journals.aps.org/prl/accepted/2907fY5bF4913f8c79a96f53b9774fa2b8d729f2a (paper in Physical Review ...
