If physicists find a new piece in their calculations or their particle collider experiments, they can check if it fits into the puzzle. If it doesn’t, maybe the puzzle itself needs to be changed.

A new translation of a 2018 book by French science historian Thibault Le Texier challenges the claims of one of psychology's most famous experiments. Investigating the Stanford Prison Experiment: ...

Due to go online in 2028, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is designed to understand the evolution of “ghost particles” known as neutrinos and antineutrinos. While this could ...

UNIT 18: Atoms and Nuclei Alpha-particle scattering experiment, Rutherford's model of atom, Bohr model, energy levels, hydrogen spectrum. Composition and size of nucleus, atomic masses ...

2. Suppose you are given a chance to repeat the alpha-particle scattering experiment using a thin sheet of solid hydrogen in place of the gold foil. (Hydrogen is a solid at temperatures below 14 K.) ...

Don Lincon, a senior scientist at the U.S. particle physics laboratory Fermilab, describes bosons as “puppies of the subatomic world” because you can have an unlimited number of bosons in the ...

Scientists have come a step closer to understanding how collisionless shock waves -- found throughout the universe -- are able to accelerate particles to extreme speeds. Scientists have come a ...

There's a significant imbalance between matter and antimatter in our universe, but a strange particle called "the ... range of a number of neutrino experiments, like Super-Kamiokande and Borexino ...

There is one notable exception to this strict rule of quantum-state segregation. Restricted to just two dimensions, some materials can give rise to a particle-like behavior that breaks the statistical ...
