Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e., points where the laws of physics break down. Identifying how ...

Flexcompute, a physics company building simulation and AI systems for engineering, empowers teams to accelerate complex ...

When protons smash against a beryllium target in CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), the resulting subatomic chaos produces a smattering of kaons—a kind of subatomic particle. Physicists predict ...

Knots are everywhere—from tangled headphones to DNA strands packed inside viruses—but how an isolated filament can knot itself without collisions or external agitation has remained a longstanding ...

Aliyah Welker ’22 had never heard of health physics when she started at UMass Lowell. Neither had Cassia Fontes ’22, ’23. Yet the two former classmates, who chose the radiological health physics ...

In 1930, a young physicist named Carl D. Anderson was tasked by his mentor with measuring the energies of cosmic rays—particles arriving at high speed from outer space. Anderson built an improved ...

Eight years ago, the International Space Station detected weird antimatter particles that challenge our entire understanding of physics. Now, researchers have proposed that mysterious cosmic ...

A Belgian teenager has become one of the youngest individuals in modern history to complete a PhD in quantum physics. But for A 15-year-old has just earned a PhD in quantum physics—and that’s only the ...
