Physicist Jean Tran Thanh Van, creator of one of the most prestigious particle physics conferences, is the king of connections. His humanitarian efforts, combined with his vision of a cohesive international particle physics community, have now led him back to his home country of Vietnam.
Light dark photons? Dark Higgs bosons? Scientists look for signs of these weird-sounding particles in data from BaBar—an experiment designed to explain a completely different mystery.
Metal products contain microscopic stresses that can grow into bigger problems. How engineers choose to manage these stresses makes all the difference.
When most people think about France and particle physics, they think of the Large Hadron Collider. But around Paris, it’s a tabletop accelerator that has locals amped up.
Meet the Twinkie of particle physics: the muon.
Particle accelerators are revealing insight into energy, manufacturing, defense, nuclear power, the first microseconds of the universe and more.
Using software that simulates how particles behave in colliders, researchers show that magnetic nozzles could be extremely efficient.
Researchers at China’s University of Science and Technology have teleported photons more than 60 miles.
A new study suggests that Weakly Interacting Massive Particles might strike our bodies once every minute.
