Quark-gluon plasma, the state of matter previously believed to require heavy nuclei like lead, has been confirmed forming in ...

Physicists created signs of primordial quark-gluon plasma by colliding oxygen and neon nuclei, much smaller nuclei than ...

Niels Bohr, one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century, is remembered not only for his groundbreaking contributions to quantum theory but also for his insightful observations about ...

Researchers at CERN have created microscopic versions of the early Universe by colliding surprisingly small atomic nuclei at nearly the speed of light. The collisions produced quark-gluon plasma, the ...

Academy Award-winning actor and filmmaker Kenneth Branagh will be playing the role of Danish physicist Niels Bohr in one of the most highly anticipated films in recent cinematic history, Oppenheimer.

Analysis suggests that the two pioneers of quantum mechanics, Niels Bohr and John von Neumann, may have had more similar views than previously thought regarding the nature of quantum systems, and the ...

Ever since Max Planck introduced the idea of the quantum to the world, physicists have argued about whether reality is more like sand or water. Planck’s famous 1900 discovery that energy is grainy — ...

In classical physics there are no uncertainties - the properties of matter on an atomic level are deterministic, that is to say predetermined. The theories of quantum mechanics, however, only say ...

How much can we know of the world? Some believe we can go all the way and find the answers to the most penetrating questions, at least those concerned with the natural world. Others think there is ...
