Quantum field theory says true nothingness doesn’t exist; even a vacuum teems with energy fields that help create matter and ...

Some innovations in physics come from entirely new technologies, others from fresh theoretical insights. Others still take shape by bringing together existing tools in new ways, working out how to ...

In 2024, the T2K Collaboration started to collect new neutrino data following several upgrades to the experiment that included new types of detectors. One of these, called SuperFGD, has a mass of ...

Particles of light cannot be divided into smaller particles, but if you try to snip off the end of one, instead of shortening it multiplies ...

An international collaboration has shown that additive manufacturing offers a realistic way to build large-scale plastic scintillator detectors for particle physics experiments. In 2024, the T2K ...

A new experiment on ultra-rare astatine could open the door to cancer treatments and new research into super-heavy atoms. Rare quadruplet 'top quarks' created at world's largest atom smasher The world ...

Previous chapters have shown that the great successes of the past quarter of a century in elementary-particle physics are embodied in the Standard Model, which contains both the electroweak ...
