Particle detectors play a crucial role in our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. They allow ...

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors (SNSPDs), originally designed for detecting ...

Scattering takes place across the universe at large and miniscule scales. Billiard balls clank off each other in bars, the ...

The Standard Model is a kind of periodic table of the elements for particle physics. But instead of listing the chemical elements, it lists the fundamental particles that make up the atoms that make ...

An international team of physicists has successfully measured the size of a certain type of neutrino to a certain degree. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the group describes ...

Scientists Marie and Pierre Curie discovered two elements: radium and polonium. For these discoveries, Marie Curie received a Nobel prize. Particle diagrams can be used to show the atoms of elements.

The Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) is an innovative computational technique that combines the advantages of particle-based methods with traditional finite element approaches. It is ...

Recent research has explored innovative methods such as finite element-based particle-in-cell (PIC) methods, discrete exterior calculus (DEC), and structured mesh generation techniques ...

"For decades, we've had a traditional view of the proton as a collection of quarks and gluons, and we've been focused on understanding so-called single-particle properties, including how quarks ...

Researchers at Argonne have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors can also be used as highly accurate ...
