Newswise — Nuclear physicists, theorists, students, and others gathered for the 2025 RHIC & AGS Users’ Meeting at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory May 20-23 to recap nuclear physics successes, hear the latest happenings, and plan for future discoveries. The meeting took place during the 25th and final run of the…
Newswise — Astronomers have uncovered a vast cloud of energetic particles — a ‘mini halo’ — surrounding one of the most distant galaxy clusters ever observed, marking a major step forward in understanding the hidden forces that shape the cosmos. The mini-halo is at a distance so great that it takes light 10 billion years…
The Science Newswise — The nature of the neutrino’s mass is no small matter. It is directly connected with major questions in nuclear physics, particle physics, cosmology, and the origins of matter in the universe. To determine the mechanism by which neutrinos obtain their mass, experiments search for a hypothetical radioactive process called neutrinoless double beta decay. Current techniques are…
BYLINE: Chris Patrick Newswise — In this International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, physicists worldwide are celebrating a century since the establishment of quantum mechanics. The celebration has brought to the forefront the concepts of how tiny particles that make up the ubiquitous atom give rise to our visible universe. It is also highlighting that…
BYLINE: Madeleine O’Keefe Newswise — Scientists working on the Muon g-2 experiment, hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, have released their third and final measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly. This value is related to g-2, the experiment’s namesake measurement. The final result agrees with their published results from 2021…
Newswise — Particle physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have released the third and final measurements of a mysterious “wobbling” of a subatomic particle called a muon (pronounced mew-on), which is similar to an electron but with 200 times more mass. The results offer the most precise measurement to date…
The Science Newswise — Neutrinos are among the most abundant yet least understood particles in the universe. Now, nuclear scientists have measured the tiny energy of lithium atoms recoiling from the emission of neutrinos from radioactive decay. The study used advanced superconducting sensor technology that operates at near absolute-zero temperatures. This new technique provided the first direct quantum size limits on neutrino…
Newswise — Five Florida State University physicists are part of the international team awarded the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics for work done at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the world’s largest particle physics laboratory. FSU physics faculty members Harrison Prosper, Todd Adams, Andrew Askew, Ted Kolberg and Rachel Yohay are among the…
Newswise — A team of physicists has uncovered a surprising new way to explore one of science’s greatest challenges: uniting the two fundamental theories that explain how our universe works – Einstein’s theory of gravity and quantum mechanics. Despite decades of effort, no one has fully explained how gravity – which governs massive objects like…
BYLINE: Tamara Dietrich Newswise — NEWPORT NEWS, VA – One of the things that makes the main particle accelerator at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility unique is that it was the first linear accelerator to deliver a continuous stream of electrons. Today, the accelerator’s efficiency and stability are critical to…
