Latest experiment at Large Hadron Collider reports first results
Oct 15, 2015 (SPX)
After a two-year hiatus, the Large Hadron Collider, the largest and most powerful particle accelerator in the world, began its second run of experiments in June...
A resonator for electrons
Oct 15, 2015 (SPX)
More than two thousand years ago the Greek inventor and philosopher Archimedes already came up with the idea of using a curved mirror to reflect light in such a...
Flickering light reveals remarkable link with matter-eating black holes
Oct 14, 2015 (SPX)

Scientists produce shortest electron bunches ever by surfing plasma waves
Oct 13, 2015 (SPX)
The shortest electron bunches ever produced have emerged in research by scientists at the University of Strathclyde. The bunches were produced by focusing a hig...
A quantum simulator of impossible physics
Oct 09, 2015 (SPX)
The researchers in the two groups have succeeded in getting a trapped atom to imitate behaviours that contradict its own fundamental laws, thus taking elements ...
Double the (quantum) fun
Oct 08, 2015 (SPX)
A single-electron transistor (SET) is an electrical device that takes advantage of a strange quantum phenomenon called tunneling to transport single electrons a...
Physicists shrink particle accelerator
Oct 08, 2015 (SPX)
An interdisciplinary team of researchers has built the first prototype of a miniature particle accelerator that uses terahertz radiation instead of radio freque...
Perfectly accurate clocks turn out to be impossible
Oct 08, 2015 (SPX)
Can the passage of time be measured precisely, always and everywhere? The answer will upset many watchmakers. A team of physicists from the universities of Wars...
Laser-wielding physicists seize control of atoms' behavior
Oct 07, 2015 (SPX)
Physicists have wondered in recent years if they could control how atoms interact using light. Now they know that they can, by demonstrating games of quantum bi...
Scientists present, discuss latest data from experiments smashing nuclei
Oct 07, 2015 (SPX)
Scientists intent on unraveling the mystery of the force that binds the building blocks of visible matter are gathered in Kobe, Japan, this week to present and ...
The golden anniversary of black-hole singularity
Oct 06, 2015 (SPX)
When a star collapses forming a black hole, a space-time singularity is created wherein the laws of Physics no longer work. In 1965 Sir Roger Penrose presented ...
Johns Hopkins research on infant universe takes step forward
Oct 06, 2015 (SPX)
An effort to peer into the origins of the universe with the most effective instrument ever used in the effort is taking a big step forward, as Johns Hopkins Uni...
World's largest atom smashers produce world's smallest droplets
Oct 06, 2015 (SPX)
How small can a droplet shrink and remain a liquid? This existential question has been raised by a series of experiments conducted recently at the Large Hadron ...
Scientists produce status check on quantum teleportation
Oct 05, 2015 (SPX)
Mention the word 'teleportation' and for many people it conjures up "Beam me up, Scottie" images of Captain James T Kirk. But in the last two decades quantum te...
New precise particle measurement improves subatomic tool
Oct 01, 2015 (SPX)
Physicists at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, have achieved a new precise measurement of a key subatomic particle, opening the door to better understandi...
11-Year Cosmic Search Leads to Black Hole Rethink
Sep 25, 2015 (SPX)
One hundred years since Einstein proposed gravitational waves as part of his general theory of relativity, an 11-year search performed with CSIRO's Parkes teles...
New theory of stealth dark matter may explain universe's missing mass
Sep 25, 2015 (SPX)
Lawrence Livermore scientists have come up with a new theory that may identify why dark matter has evaded direct detection in Earth-based experiments. A group o...
