Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Laser-assisted particle interactions and scattering represent a rapidly emerging field in high-energy and quantum physics, where the interplay between intense electromagnetic fields and particle ...

Long-range interactions, characterised by forces that decay with distance slower than the spatial dimensionality, pose unique challenges in statistical mechanics. Their inherent non-extensivity and ...

The nature of dark matter is largely unknown, but it is thought to have mass, which influences particle interactions in the universe through gravity. Dark matter may not interact much with visible ...

As a central hub for scientific exploration, CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is dedicated to probing the enigmatic particles that could potentially elucidate the mystery of dark ...

Powder tribology offers a way to understand particle interactions at their contact points, capturing both interparticle friction and surface adhesion. These interactions have been studied in ...

Particle size has long been a key method for characterization. Most particle size measurement techniques are indirect and assume that all measured particles are round when providing size results.
