  • Physicists Take Part in Discovery of New Subatomic Particle

    It's not every day that scientists discover a new particle of matter. Florida State University physicists were part of just such a historic event recently while collaborating with ...
  • Race for 'God particle' heats up

    Europe's Cern is losing ground in the race identify one of the fundamental particles of matter, its US rival claims.
  • Physicists Demonstrate Quantum Memory with Matter Qubits

    ... -- For the first time, scientists have successfully operated a quantum gate between two remote particles of matter, marking an important step toward the development of a quantum computer. In previous ...
  • Searching the heavens

    ... produced by hot, glowing objects, but from collisions between charged, very rapidly moving, particles and matter or light. The high frequency photons that are emitted from these collisions provide a ...
  • Tevatron experiments double-team Higgs boson

    ... Forces--the theoretical framework for particle physics--predicts the existence of a particle, the Higgs boson, that interacts with other particles of matter to give them mass. The mechanism by which ...
  • BOSS: The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey

    ... For almost the first 400,000 years, the universe was so dense that particles of matter were thoroughly entangled with particles of light (photons), the whole a vast, quivering, liquid-like blob where ...
  • 2 Japanese, 1 American share Nobel physics prize

    Two Japanese citizens and an American won the 2008 Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for discoveries that help explain the behavior of the smallest particles of matter.
  • Nobel physics prize goes to 2 Japanese, 1 American

    Two Japanese scientists and an American won the 2008 Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for theoretical advances that help explain the behavior of the smallest particles of matter.
  • Iowa State physicists part of research team testing Nobel-winning theory

    ... say the explosion of energy should have created equal amounts of matter and antimatter. And they say whenever particles of matter and antimatter would have met they would have annihilated each other. ...
  • Beam Me Up, Ytterbium

    ... just skipped ahead a few steps with the first successful transference of information between two particles of matter. While earlier work with photons proved the feasibility of quantum processing, this ...
