Ernest Rutherford, pioneer in studying the world inside atoms, famously remarked that all science is either physics or stamp collecting. But sometimes physics itself involves dutifully collecting the ...
The electron has been weighed with unprecedented precision, researchers report February 19 in Nature. Its new and improved mass, 17 times as precise as the previous best estimate, is 0.000548579909067 ...
When quantum electrodynamics, the quantum field theory of electrons and photons, was being developed after World War II, one of the major challenges for theorists was calculating a value for the Lamb ...
Neutrinos are known to have tiny masses. A new result proclaims the subatomic particles to be even tinier still. Neutrinos are the only class of fundamental particle for which the mass, one of the ...
Quantum computers promise significantly shorter computing times for complex problems. But there are still only a few quantum computers worldwide with a limited number of so-called qubits. However, ...
In this webinar, we will explore innovative advancements in Monte Carlo based dose calculations that are poised to impact radiation oncology quality assurance. This expert session will focus on new ...
Physicists have taken a step towards nailing down the mass of the neutrino, perhaps the most mysterious of all elementary particles. The team at the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment in ...
