A high-precision experiment is hunting for a forbidden particle flip that could expose new physics hiding in plain sight.

UC Santa Barbara physicists Sebastian Streichan, David Patterson and Andrea Young are among the 22 mid-career researchers to be named Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Experimental Physics ...

There are precision measurements, and then there’s the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. In each of LIGO’s twin gravitational wave detectors (one in Hanford, Washington, and the ...

One of the key steps in developing new materials is property identification, which has long relied on massive amounts of experimental data and expensive equipment, limiting research efficiency. A ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. There are precision measurements, and then there’s the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. In each of LIGO’s twin ...

Cementitious materials and geomaterials are fundamental components of civil and geotechnical infrastructure systems and play ...

Condensed-matter physics and materials science have a silo problem. Although researchers in these fields have access to vast amounts of data – from experimental records of crystal structures and ...

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 ...

Exotic spin-dependent interactions represent a promising avenue for probing physics beyond the Standard Model. These interactions, hypothesised to be mediated by new light bosons, couple to the ...

The experimental neutrino physics group is involved in three experiments around the world, described below. Our research involves the study of fundamental subatomic particles called neutrinos. In ...

Time travel has long been a subject of fascination in science fiction, but recent scientific endeavors suggest that it might not be as far-fetched as once thought. Researchers in laboratories around ...

Many have wondered why the Chinese-American physicist Chien-Shiung Wu never won a share of the 1957 Nobel Prize for Physics for her experimental verification of parity violation. Mats Larsson and ...
