Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number ...

Researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have found a new way to produce X-rays with wavelengths in what is called the "water window." This new method holds promise ...

This Python project provides a means of running parallelized Widom's Test Particle Insertion Method [1] on all sorts of configurations drawn from molecular-dynamics or monte-carlo simulations. This ...

The Sun unleashes a torrent of charged particles. Some of them slam into the Earth’s atmosphere, triggering breathtaking auroras in the night sky. But for equipment that’s orbiting our planet in outer ...

I peeked in on the house-sized particle detector known as STAR just after it took its last-ever snapshot of one of the most extreme types of fireball ever created. Inside, the conditions just after ...

In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...

An upstate New York district, where most students are Native American, placed its superintendent on leave after images of a wooden box in a classroom spread on social media. By Troy Closson The image ...

Laser Ammo’s CQB in a Box is a dry fire system that is so portable that the kit, including the targets, fits into a duffle bag. I got a chance to test Laser Ammo’s CQB in a Box, a dry fire system that ...

Using a precisely aligned pair of laser beams, scientists can now hold a single aerosol particle in place and monitor how it charges up. The particle’s glow signals each step in its changing ...

I mainly use this package for geometry construction in LAMMPS, with some examples provided in the repository; of course, it can also be used for other software. Particles of specified geometries are ...

Despite its simplicity, the model is foundational. It is often the first non-trivial system for which students solve the Schrödinger equation exactly, and it beautifully illustrates core quantum ideas ...
