Signs of Gluon Saturation Emerge from Particle Collisions
The Science Nuclear physicists collide protons with heavier ions (atomic nuclei) to explore the fundamental constituents that make up those ions. By tracking particles that stream out of the collisions, they can…
New Type of Entanglement Lets Scientists ‘See’ Inside Nuclei
The Science Nuclear physicists have found a new way to see details inside atomic nuclei. They do so by tracking interactions between particles of light and gluons—the gluelike particles that…
Imaging the Proton with Neutrinos
The Science Protons and neutrons, the building blocks of atomic nuclei, are themselves made up of strongly interacting quarks and gluons“>quarks and gluons. Because the interactions are so strong, the structure…
UC Irvine-led team is first to detect neutrinos made by a particle collider
Newswise — Irvine, Calif., March 20, 2023 – In a scientific first, a team led by physicists at the University of California, Irvine has detected neutrinos created by a particle…
Brookhaven Lab Physicist Mary Bishai Elected DUNE Co-Spokesperson
Newswise — UPTON, NY—Mary Bishai, a distinguished scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, has been elected co-spokesperson of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). In…
Antibody fragment-nanoparticle therapeutic eradicates cancer
Newswise — ITHACA, N.Y. — A novel cancer therapeutic, combining antibody fragments with molecularly engineered nanoparticles, permanently eradicated gastric cancer in treated mice, a multi-institutional team of researchers found. The results…
50 years ago, physicists found the speed of light
A New Figure for the Cosmic Speed Limit – Science News, December 2, 1972 A group at the National Bureau of Standards at Boulder, Colo., now reports an extremely accurate…
Carlos Argüelles hunts for particles beyond the standard model
If you saw Carlos Argüelles-Delgado’s childhood bedroom — the whiteboard for working out problems, the math textbooks they asked for as birthday gifts — you’d likely not be surprised that…
How ghostly neutrinos could explain the universe’s matter mystery
The answer to one of the greatest mysteries of the universe may come down to one of the smallest, and spookiest, particles. Matter is common in the cosmos. Everything around…
