‘Ghost particles’ may be the secret behind the heaviest elements

by

Large atoms require a lot of energy to construct. A new model of quantum interactions now suggests that some of the lightest particles in the universe may play a crucial role in the formation of at least some heavy elements. Physicists in the US have shown how subatomic ‘ghost particles’ known as neutrinos can force … Read more

Experimenting with entanglement: inside the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Rochester physicists working on the detector have observed that the spin entanglement between top quarks and top antiquarks persists at long distances and high speeds. Credit: Maximilien … Read more
