Medicine & TechnologyWIth the advancements of studies in particle physics, it is just as free to celebrate several of the revolutionary particle detectors that allowed us to see the undetectable matters.
Earlier this month, physicists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) near Chicago reported the results of the Muon g-2 experiment - and a study released the same day challenges decades of study on the subject.
Scientists at CERN have reported finding evidence for a process previously predicted by theory. The ultra-rare process could lead to new physics regarding particle processes, explaining dark matter and answering cosmological questions.
If only the world were as unified as the field of particle physics, what a grand world it would be...
Over 5,000 of them have come together in what is the largest scientific collaboration on record. Their paper, which was published on May 14th in Physical Review Letters, is a joint effort between members from ATLAS and CMS, two teams that operate detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), as they attempt to unravel the mysteries of our universe.
Laser physicists at Australian National University have constructed a tractor beam that can both repel and attract objects, like a sort of shield-tractor beam combo.
