In a collider ring on Long Island, physicists have turned a long standing thought experiment into hard data, watching new particles emerge from what once looked like empty space. By tracing the birth ...
Top quark data may encode quantum magic, but the closer scientists look, the more selection, modeling, and proof matter every time ...
Heavy-ion physics is a dynamic field that investigates the behaviour of matter under extreme conditions by colliding nuclei at relativistic speeds. Such collisions create a short-lived, ...
Magnetic fields play a pivotal role in quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the fundamental theory of strong interactions. Their presence induces significant modifications in the behaviour of quarks and ...
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 ...
The CMS Collaboration investigated in detail events in which a top quark and an anti‑top quark are produced together in high‑energy proton–proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV, using the full 138 fb⁻¹ ...
Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...
