by Bob Yirka , Phys.org A team of engineers and physicists affiliated with a host of institutions across Japan, working at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex, has demonstrated acceleration of positive muons
by Sarah Charley, CERN Antimatter might sound like something out of science fiction, but at the CERN Antiproton Decelerator (AD), scientists produce and trap antiprotons every day. The BASE experiment can even contain them
by Karyn Houston, US Department of Energy Patience and complexity are the hallmarks of fundamental scientific research. Work at the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science takes time. Case in point: Technical staff
by Ingrid Fadelli , Phys.org In the context of quantum mechanics and information, “magic” is a key property of quantum states that describes the extent to which they deviate from so-called stabilizer states.
