Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that particles of matter emerging from energetic subatomic smashups retain a key ...

For more than a decade, physicists have argued (and counter-argued) that a subatomic particle can be separated from certain quantum properties, such as its spin—a phenomenon known as the Cheshire cat ...

The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB accelerator measures particle interactions with extreme precision. Collisions of electron and positron beams create the high-energy environment needed to ...

A window into how visible matter emerges from the "nothing" of vacuum has been opened by physicists at the Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in New York. The ...
