Study demonstrates a long-predicted process for generating matter directly from light — plus evidence that magnetism can bend polarized photons along different paths in a vacuum UPTON, NY—Scientists ...
Quantum field theories are powerful tools for particle physics and condensed matter physics but are rarely used in plasma physics. However, in warm-dense regimes, where matter is partially ionized and ...
An aerial view of CERN, with the Large Hadron Collider's circumference (27 kilometers in all) outlined. The same tunnel was used to house an electron-positron collider, LEP, previously. The particles ...
Uncertainty, entanglement, spooky action: On the quantum scale, the universe doesn’t work the way you might expect. While driving down the highway, physicist Werner Heisenberg is stopped by a police ...
