A research team led by Rice University physicist Frank Geurts has successfully measured the temperature of quark-gluon plasma ...

The Henryk Niewodniczanski Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences Electrons with 'colleagues' - other leptons - are one of many products of collisions observed in the LHCb experiment ...

In this video, we explore the fundamental forces of nature and their interactions with particles, structured as follows: 0:00 ...

The universe is a complex and intricate place. We can move easily through air and yet not through a wall. The sun transmutes one element to another, bathing our planet in warmth and light. Radio waves ...

The LHCb collaboration is far less famous than CMS or ATLAS, but the particles and antiparticles they produce, containing charm and bottom quarks, holds new physics hints that the other detectors ...

One of the most important observations in particle physics was the discovery in 1964 of the Omega-minus baryon at Brookhaven National Laboratory. In the two decades leading up to this point over 27 ...

Particle physics is difficult. It takes years of study in order to truly grasp it. Moreover, there is still a lot that even the most experienced experts don’t understand (a whole lot, in fact). And ...

Elisabetta Barberio receives funding from the ARC. So what are leptons? First, let’s start with the basics. Matter is made up of atoms, and atoms are made of electrons and nuclei, bound by the ...

We all like hearing about the biggest and the smallest, the heaviest and the lightest, as these categories represent the extremes of the universe…and they usually they are great for comparisons. Meet ...
