A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most successful theories, hinting at unknown forces or quantum objects. Now, an ...

CERN, the scientific research organization behind the world’s largest particle physics laboratory, has opened a quantum networking lab. At an event celebrating the lab’s launch, CERN teamed with Dutch ...

It is just over a year since Cern, home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), became the base for the three-year pilot phase of the Open Quantum Institute (OQI). The OQI is a multi-stakeholder, global, ...

In 1905, Albert Einstein proposed his most revolutionary idea that, instead of the longstanding theory of light being waves OR particles, light can have both wave AND particle properties. Applying ...

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors can also be used as highly accurate particle detectors, and they have found the optimal nanowire size for high detection ...

NEWPORT NEWS, VA – More than 30 of the world’s most advanced particle accelerators for research are built on one technology: superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) technology. It’s typically powered by ...
