Muon g-2 experiment announces updated result that’s twice as precise
Newswise — The Muon g-2 collaboration announced their much-anticipated updated measurement today. The new result aligns with the collaboration’s first result, announced in 2021 — and it’s twice as precise.…
Muon g-2 doubles down with latest measurement, explores uncharted territory in search of new physics
Newswise — Batavia, Illinois, Aug. 10, 2023 – Physicists now have a brand-new measurement of a property of the muon called the anomalous magnetic moment that improves the precision of their…
Calculations predict surprising quark diffusion in hot nuclear matter
When an energetic quark travels through a “soup” of “free” quarks and gluons—the quark-gluon plasma (QGP)—non-local quantum effects should cause it to scatter faster and at wider angles than expected…
Physicists confirm 67-year-old prediction of massless, neutral composite particle
BYLINE: Michael O’Boyle Newswise — In 1956, theoretical physicist David Pines predicted that electrons in a solid can do something strange. While they normally have a mass and an electric…
Researchers use SPAD detector to achieve 3D quantum ghost imaging
Researchers developed a new approach that allows 3D measurements to be acquired with a computational imaging approach known as quantum ghost imaging. A SPAD array detector, shown on the left…

Newswise — LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Aug. 7, 2023 — In a banner year for Los Alamos National Laboratory in the competition for Department of Energy Early Career Research Awards, four…
NASA’s space-based quantum science lab keeps getting better
A member of the Cold Atom Lab mission team works on the Quantum Observer Module. The lab is a quantum science facility that’s been operating on the International Space Station…
Scientists observe first evidence of ‘quantum superchemistry’ in the laboratory
Credit: John Zich A team from the University of Chicago has announced the first evidence for “quantum superchemistry”—a phenomenon where particles in the same quantum state undergo collective accelerated reactions.…
