New measurements have resolved the proton radius puzzle, confirming a smaller subatomic value of 0.8406 femtometers.

Schematics of the all-optical nonlinear Compton scattering experiment showing laser-driven electron acceleration, electron-laser collision, and Compton scattering to produce gamma rays. In a ...

A string of recent experiments has moved desktop-scale particle accelerators from theoretical curiosity to working prototypes, with multiple research teams demonstrating that laser-driven devices ...

Researchers have developed a novel high-energy particle detection instrumentation approach that leverages the power of quantum sensors -- devices capable of precisely detecting single particles. To ...

DLS is a non-invasive method used to measure the average size and size distribution broadness of submicron particles in a suspension/dispersed in a liquid. DLS is suitable for particle size analysis ...

New research looks at positron scattering from rare gas atoms encapsulated in carbon 60 to investigate quantum properties that can't be tested with electrons. Particle scattering is an important test ...
