A researcher at the Department of Physics at Tohoku University has uncovered a surprising quantum phenomenon hidden inside ...

The JGU team repeated the measurement but changed the beam energy and scattering angle, two variables that influence how the ...

Listening to the "whispers" of electrons and crystals has lead to a quantum discovery with terahertz light that could help us ...

Superconductivity occurs when electrons in a metal pair up and move through the material without resistance. But there may be more to the story than we thought, as scientists in Germany have now ...

Why does lead behave so differently from every other atomic nucleus when struck by electrons? A team of physicists at ...

Currently, there are 100 trillion neutrinos flowing through you. Don’t worry though; they hardly interact with matter. In ...

Neutrinos are low-mass subatomic particles with zero electric charge that interact with matter only via the weak nuclear force and gravity. This makes neutrinos difficult to detect, despite the fact ...

Measuring up: an electron scattering experiment yields a small proton radius. (Courtesy: Jefferson Lab) For nearly a decade the size of the particle that makes up the bulk of the universe’s visible ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. Most of the coverage of this adopts the framing of talking about this ...

Many elementary particles splinter into shards, but not the electron. At least scientists hadn’t thought so. According to new theoretical research, however, there are extreme conditions under which ...
