Research write-ups, analysis and explainers, newest first. Every article is grounded in primary literature and the numbers link to the papers they came from.
Francis Halzen’s Nobel Prize highlights a new way to study cosmic accelerators. IceCube detects their elusive neutrinos, but a detector signal is only the first step. Identifying a source requires…
A muonium gravity test would probe an atom containing a second-generation antilepton. Producing a suitable beam is one step. Extracting a reliable acceleration from microseconds of flight is another, with…
ATLAS has published strong evidence that the two Z bosons produced in a Higgs decay are entangled, rejecting an unentangled alternative at 4.7 sigma. The result is solid, and ATLAS…
It is the most precisely tested theory in science, and it still will not tell us what it means. What quantum mechanics says, the experiments that forced it on physicists,…
Five sigma corresponds to a one-sided p-value of about one in 3.5 million. Learn how that probability is calculated, why particle physics uses it, and why it cannot tell you…
Erwin Schrodinger coined the word in 1935 to name the one thing quantum mechanics did that classical physics could not. Ninety years later, entanglement is no longer a paradox to…
