An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

Scientists test Einstein’s quantum challenge with one atom, directly measuring when photon paths erase interference stripes.

The principle of reconstructing the tracks of secondary particles based on hits recorded during collisions inside the MUonE detector. Subsequent targets are marked in gold, and silicon detector layers ...

Particles colliding in accelerators produce numerous cascades of secondary particles. The electronics processing the signals avalanching in from the detectors then have a fraction of a second in which ...

Francesca Capel and Nadine Bourriche analyze the most energetic particle that has ever hit Earth and its possible origin in ...

The double-slit experiment is the most famous and probably the most important experiment in quantum physics: individual particles are shot at a wall with two openings, behind which a detector measures ...

Just a decade ago, the field of particle physics looked to be in a state of chaos. The Large Hadron Collider had recently turned on, and although they found the Higgs boson — the final undiscovered ...
