Protons accelerated almost to the speed of light can collide similarly to billiard balls. However, since protons are quantum particles, from measuring such collisions we can learn unobvious things ...

Inside what looks like a simple block of frozen water, quantum mechanics is quietly rewriting the rules of chemistry. New calculations are revealing how protons tunnel, bonds flicker and molecules ...

The quantum nature of interactions between elementary particles allows drawing non-trivial conclusions even from processes as simple as elastic scattering. The ATLAS experiment at the LHC accelerator ...

Protons make up most of the visible universe. Now, in a new study published in the August 18 issue of the journal Nature, scientists find that because of the strange nature of quantum physics, protons ...

Data from past proton-electron collisions provide strong evidence of entanglement among the proton's sea of quarks (spheres) and gluons (squiggles), which may play an important role in their ...

The team used a process called open quantum systems to model the dynamics of the process, and showed that these protons are jumping back and forth more often than previously thought. This suggests ...

The BASE collaboration within the Antimatter Factory at CERN is having an exciting year. Not only are they getting ready to transport antimatter around the facility on the back of a van, but they have ...

The molecules of life, DNA, replicate with astounding precision, yet this process is not immune to mistakes and can lead to mutations. Using sophisticated computer modelling, a team of physicists and ...
