For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by ...

Scientists studying particle collisions at CERN have captured new evidence of how quarks move through the early universe’s primordial plasma.

Physicists at the UK’s Central Laser Facility have recorded the first observation of quantum radiation reaction, detecting how electrons lose energy in ways that classical physics cannot explain when ...

Ready to go: the Belle II experiment will run on Japan's SuperKEKB accelerator. (Courtesy: KEK) The first electron–positron collisions occurred at an upgrade to one of Japan’s premier particle-physics ...

A new study lead by GSI scientists and international colleagues investigates black-hole formation in neutron star mergers. Computer simulations show that the properties of dense nuclear matter play a ...

After a three-year-long nap, the world’s largest particle collider is awake and ready to help physicists probe the very edge of science itself, including the possible existence of a mysterious fifth ...

New experiments using one-dimensional gases of ultra-cold atoms reveal a universality in how quantum systems composed of many particles change over time following a large influx of energy that throws ...
