The ability of single particle cryo-electron microscopy to capture structural information on samples that could not be crystallized for use with crystallographic methods or were too delicate for ...

Scientists have successfully developed a pocket-sized particle accelerator capable of projecting ultra-short electron beams with laser light at more than 99.99% of the speed of light. To achieve this ...

Watch a nuclear engineer react to Lightning Bottle from a Particle Accelerator by Electron Impressions. This video dives into ...

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about ...

A particle accelerator was used to create lightning in a bottle by charging a spinning acrylic tube with high-energy ...

Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...

In physics, there are very different types of particles: Elementary particles are the fundamental building blocks of matter. Other particles, such as atoms, are bound states consisting of several ...

The universe is a big place, but it's made out of small pieces. The periodic table includes elements such as oxygen, carbon and other building blocks that make up stars, cats or cups of coffee. But ...

New particles are usually only found in huge particle accelerators. But something quite similar can be found in a simple lab or in computer simulations: a quasiparticle. It behaves just like a ...
