Scientists at the world’s largest physics experiment have reported the most precise measurement yet of the most massive subatomic particle known. The finding may sound esoteric, but it would be no understatement to say it has implications for the entire universe. The Greek philosopher Empedocles surmised 2,400 years ago that matter could be broken down … Read more

The inside of 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.
