A game project provides the setting for a tutorial on creating particle effects in Unity. The walkthrough connects the ...

Theoretical particle physics is the development of models for describing fundamental particles and their interactions. This includes testing and refining the prevailing theory: the standard model.

Experimental particle physics is the practical investigation of the fundamental components of matter and radiation. A crucial tool in the arsenal of the experimental particle physicist is the particle ...

A vessel strike, sometimes referred to as a ship strike, is a collision between any type of boat and marine animal, including whales, dolphins, sea turtles, fish, seals, or sea lions. Vessels of any ...

Particle accelerators are experimental techniques and associated infrastructures that use electromagnetic fields to accelerate charged particles, such as electrons, protons, or heavy ions, to high ...

Physicists at the University of Oxford have helped confirm that one of the strangest phenomena in physics—quantum entanglement—occurs even among some of the heaviest and most fleeting particles ever ...

The European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, will dismantle the Large Hadron Collider, which helped discover the so-called God Particle, in order to build a more powerful particle ...

Physicists have detected strong evidence that heavy, fleeting Z bosons can become quantum entangled during Higgs boson decays at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. The result shows that Einstein’s “spooky ...

This article is part of a special package on “Impossible Questions”—scientific quandaries that may never get definitive answers. Read the rest of the collection here. On June 25, 2012, particle ...

About half a dozen times per month, a commercial airplane landing or taking off from a U.S. airport has a near miss with another piloted aircraft. These near misses occur across the country, and that ...

A car crashed into a historic brick building at 17th and Texas streets in SF; a Marin County woman has given $1M to be distributed among all Ross Valley teachers; and SF Supervisor Bilal Mahmood has ...
