Using a precisely aligned pair of laser beams, scientists can now hold a single aerosol particle in place and monitor how it charges up. The particle’s glow signals each step in its changing ...
They used a nanoscale particle made of glass levitated in a vacuum and cooled it to the lowest possible energy level to reduce its uncertainty. After making sure its trapping potential was optimally ...
After a decade of painstaking measurements, scientists have delivered a major plot twist in particle physics: a long-hypothesized “mystery particle” likely doesn’t exist. Using the MicroBooNE ...
