IBM quantum computer simulates hadronization for first time
A physicist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has used an IBM International Business Machines Corporation quantum computer to simulate hadronization — the process by which quarks bind together through the strong nuclear force to form composite particles such as protons…
CERN shuts down Large Hadron Collider for $1.5B upgrade
The world's most powerful particle accelerator fell silent on Monday as CERN switched off the Large Hadron Collider, marking the beginning of Long Shutdown 3 — a four-year overhaul that will transform the machine into the High-Luminosity LHC.
China’s JUNO detector achieves record neutrino measurements
A massive underground particle detector in southern China has delivered its first major scientific results, achieving the most precise measurements ever recorded of how neutrinos transform as they travel through space.
CERN finds high-significance hint of physics beyond the Standard Model
Physicists working at CERN's Large Hadron Collider have found what may be one of the strongest hints yet that the Standard Model of particle physics is incomplete, publishing results that show rare "penguin" decays of subatomic particles behaving in ways…
Particle accelerator decodes lost ancient Greek star catalog
Powerful X-rays from a particle accelerator have illuminated fragments of one of history's most important astronomical documents—the lost star catalog of the ancient Greek astronomer Hipparchus—after lying hidden beneath medieval religious texts for more than a millennium.
