Pairing of custom-built klystrons and fast-pulse modulators enable production of up to 12 radioisotopes in a single run Power and efficiency of Nusano system to surpass existing commercial ...

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 ...

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

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

An attosecond—or 0.000000000000000001 second—is no time at all for a person. That is not so for electrons, atoms and ...

A new study proposes that discovering a single exotic particle at the LHC could falsify string theory as we know it.
