Scientists are unlocking new secrets of the universe with tiny particles called plasmons. These plasmons allow researchers to confine powerful electromagnetic energy within spaces smaller than a grain ...

Researechers are testing superconducting microwire single-photon detectors (SMSPDs) for use in future particle physics exepriments. The detectors, which were designed and fabricated at JPL and ...

Physicists share a common interest in understanding how the physical world works. For example, when a particle physicist breaks apart a particle into smaller pieces, they ask themselves: are those the ...

China’s decision to halt work on what was meant to be the world’s largest particle accelerator marked a sharp turn in the ...

Smashing subatomic particles together at near-light speeds has long been the best way to understand the universe’s fundamental building blocks. These high-energy collisions, conducted inside massive ...

In September 2024, physicists made a discovery at CERN that could change how we understand the universe. For the first time, scientists saw quantum entanglement, the mysterious link between particles, ...

CERN, the scientific research organization behind the world’s largest particle physics laboratory, has opened a quantum networking lab. At an event celebrating the lab’s launch, CERN teamed with Dutch ...
