Measuring up: an electron scattering experiment yields a small proton radius. (Courtesy: Jefferson Lab) For nearly a decade the size of the particle that makes up the bulk of the universe’s visible ...

Neutron scattering has emerged as a mainstream scientific endeavour over the last 20–30 years. Having previously been the preserve of researchers studying superconductivity and magnetism, neutron ...

Even diffuse objects like clouds or sugar cubes cast shadows, because they’re disordered media that scatter light waves. But now, researchers at TU Wien and Utrecht University have found a way to ...

The experimental characterization and theoretical modelling of warm dense matter (WDM) pose severe challenges because WDM spans the intermediate states between solids and plasmas and retains ...

Australian researchers have played a central role in a landmark result from the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment in South ...

A long-standing physics mystery has been solved with the discovery of emergent photon-like behavior inside a strange quantum ...

There has never been a more exciting time to study the exciting discipline of physics, spanning the workings of the sub-atomic world to the ever-expanding universe. The BS Physics Program in the ...

This unique gamma-ray source will generate a beam of gamma rays like those that existed in the first minutes of our universe after the Big Bang. The high-flux, monochromatic and energy-tunable gamma ...
