ORNL's Celeritas software accelerates particle interaction simulations using GPUs for high-energy physics research.

After a decade-long analysis, a collaboration of physicists has made the most precise measurement of the mass of a key particle – and it may unravel physics as we know it. The new measurement differs ...

For more than a decade, NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has quietly mapped the high-energy sky, searching for subtle ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

High energy physicists run on a treadmill that keeps speeding up. Their collider experiments smash particles at dazzling speeds and energies.

Quantum computing has crossed a line that classical machines cannot easily follow, pushing simulations of matter and forces ...

Particle physics seeks to understand the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces that govern their interactions. The field has evolved from early studies of protons, neutrons and electrons ...

Last year, the particle physicist Lance Dixon was preparing a lecture when he noticed a striking similarity between two formulas that he planned to include in his slides. The formulas, called ...

Borrowing a page from high-energy physics and astronomy textbooks, a team of physicists and computer scientists has successfully adapted and applied a common error-reduction technique to the field of ...

The universe has cooked up all sorts of bizarre and beautiful forms of matter, from blazing stars to purring cats, out of just three basic ingredients. Electrons and two types of quarks, dubbed “up” ...
