The muon g-2 experiment might mean the Standard Model of physics is incomplete, but that's just the beginning
Muons, elementary particles similar to electrons, appear to behave like magnets, but the Fermilab experiment is still not confirmation
A tiny particle collider yields new evidence for a type of 'quasiparticles' called anyons
These particles could help make better quantum computers
Deborah Jin engineered new quantum states of matter — twice
According to colleague Kathryn J. Levin, Jin "probably would have gotten the Nobel"
The International Space Station creates bigger, colder states of matter than are possible on Earth
On Earth, these experiments are complicated by gravity
Forget the Large Hadron Collider: fundamental particles ride plasma waves into high-speed collisions
If built, EuPRAXIA will be the world's first high energy plasma-based accelerator
We can't have a future with quantum computers without quantum mechanics
Scientists are building physical platforms for memory, computation, and networking — all things we need for quantum computing to be possible
The key to unlocking a glacier's past is a chainsaw and some quantum mechanics
The layers that are so useful in dating the glaciers are disappearing because of climate change, so scientists are finding new ways to date glaciers
Photons pop in and out of existence to transfer heat
It isn't heat conduction, convection, or radiation
Quantum jumps aren't as weird as Einstein and Schrödinger thought
Physicists from Yale have figured out how to predict and control quantum jumps, which could be the breakthrough quantum computing needs
Pi's not just for circles. It's in springs and atoms and light
With certainty, pi's everywhere.
Meet the barrier-breaking physicist hunting gravity with lasers
Nergis Mavalvala explores gravitational waves and quantum physics
Meet Sau Lan Wu, the physicist who helped discover three fundamental particles
Most scientists spend their careers hoping for a single big discovery. Sau Lan Wu has had three and is still searching for more.
Dark Matter makes up a quarter of our universe, but we still have no idea what it is
The discovery of the Higgs boson points us in the right direction, but we’re still feeling our way through the dark.
