How Artificial Intelligence Can Supercharge the Search for New Particles
...billions of collisions to a more manageable number, they may be inadvertently deleting evidence for new physics. “We’re always afraid we’re throwing the baby away with the bathwater,” said Kyle...
Inside the Knotty World of ‘Anyon’ Particles
A new class of quantum particle is about to emerge from the tangled considerations of quantum statistics. [No Caption] I. Prior to the emergence of quantum mechanics, fundamental physics was...
How the Hidden Higgs Could Reveal Our Universe’s Dark Sector
...particle physics. But it’s possible that the LHC has been producing such pivotal new particles all along, and that we’re just not seeing them. “The core of the story,” said...
‘Quantum Atmospheres’ May Reveal Secrets of Matter
...a ceramic-like insulator. Topological insulators have drawn attention for their unusual physics as well as for their potential use in quantum computers and so-called spintronic devices, which utilize electrons’ spins...
Real-Life Schrödinger’s Cats Probe the Boundary of the Quantum World
...same, these exotic objects are worth heeding, because they show with unprecedented clarity that quantum mechanics is not just the physics of the extremely small. “Schrödinger’s kittens,” loosely speaking, are...
The Hidden World of Electrostatic Ecology
...to his background in physics. The marriage of these worlds drives his curiosity: How does physics mold animal behavior? He pivoted to sensory ecology for graduate school and joined Robert’s...
Novel Architecture Makes Neural Networks More Understandable
...Wetzel, a researcher at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. “When we scale them up to larger data sets, nothing can compete.” And yet, all this time, neural networks have...
How the Higgs Field (Actually) Gives Mass to Elementary Particles
...physics, says the universe is filled with fields. Examples include the electromagnetic field, the gravitational field and the Higgs field itself. For each field, there’s a corresponding type of particle,...
How Is Flocking Like Computing?
...exhibited. When we first measured these properties, it seemed like the individuals were defying the laws of physics. The information was percolating so quickly. And in the, sort of, early...
