LEAD — On Saturday, the Sanford Underground Research Facility, (SURF) will host the 17th annual Neutrino Day in Lead. This free, citywide science festival features hoistroom tours, science activities ...

Just 100 years ago, on 9 July 1925, Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to his friend, colleague and fiercest critic, Wolfgang Pauli. A few weeks earlier, Heisenberg had returned from the North Sea ...

Enrique Rico Ortega and Sofia Vallecorsa explain how quantum computing will allow physicists to model complex dynamics, from ...

Quantum sensors have become important tools in low-energy particle physics. Michael Doser explores opportunities to exploit ...

Yet it remains incompatible with quantum mechanics, which governs phenomena at the particle scale. This conflict becomes ...

Dark matter is one of Nature’s most confounding mysteries. It keeps particle physicists up at night and cosmologists glued to their supercomputer simulations. We know it’s real because its mass ...

At cosmological scales, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has given scientists an immensely accurate blueprint for the workings of gravity and spacetime. Meanwhile, quantum mechanics has ...

Simulating data in particle physics is expensive and not perfectly accurate. To get around this, researchers are now ...

Alternative deterministic interpretation generally predicts the same results as standard theories – but maybe not this time ...

The CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have observed an unforeseen feature in the behaviour of top ...

"Dark matter could be captured by stars and accumulate inside them. If that happens, it might also interact with itself and ...
