Density functional theory provides a powerful framework for probing electronic structure in many-body systems. A new functional for particles interacting via short-range potentials extends its ...

Artificial intelligence software is designing novel experimental protocols that improve upon the work of human physicists, although the humans are still “doing a lot of baby-sitting.” ...

Density describes how much space an object or substance takes up in relation to the amount of matter in that object or substance. It’s the objects volume in relation to its mass. Another way to ...

These experiments represent a four-fold increase in the on-target laser energy compared to any previous petawatt-class laser system.

New scientific results confirm an anomaly seen in previous experiments, which may point to an as-yet-unconfirmed new elementary particle, the sterile neutrino, or indicate the need for a new ...

AMES, Iowa – It won’t be long before aluminum parts manufactured in Ames are part of a $28 million upgrade to a nuclear physics experiment at a national laboratory in New York. Veronica Canoa Roman, ...

We spoke about digital storage and data management for the large volume of scientific data generated by CERN particle physics experiments.

Optical Surfaces Ltd has delivered a 305 mm diameter spherical mirror to the GSI Helmholtz Zentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Germany for use in novel particle acceleration experiments.

OverviewIn the research field of the history and philosophy of physics, Professor Emeritus Allan Franklin studies the long-term impacts of physics discoveries on the scientific community and the ...
