Scientists have used high-performance computing at large scales to analyze a quantum photonics experiment. In specific terms, this involved the tomographic reconstruction of experimental data from a ...

When ultraviolet light hits ice—whether in Earth's polar regions or on distant planets—it triggers a cascade of chemical reactions that have puzzled scientists for decades.

Light and heavy New calculations reveal quark distributions in flavour-asymmetric mesons. (Courtesy: iStock Traffic-Analyzer) The distribution of quarks inside flavour-asymmetric mesons has been ...

Researchers have combined theory and experiments to show that nuclear polarization does not limit studies of muonic atoms, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. University of ...

The muon’s magnetism is still strong. Its most precise measurement yet is in line with a series of earlier results — and seals an embarrassing discrepancy with decades of theoretical calculations that ...

Physicists have performed the first full simulation of a high-energy physics experiment — the creation of pairs of particles and their antiparticles — on a quantum computer 1. If the team can scale it ...

Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the basic way physicists think the universe works, a prospect that has the field of particle physics both baffled and ...
