Supersymmetry Washes Out at the Large Hadron Collider
Supersymmetry, long considered the golden child of theoretical physics, has officially lost its luster at the world’s reigning particle accelerator
New Views of Quantum Jumps Challenge Core Tenets of Physics
One of the most basic processes in all of nature—a subatomic particle’s transition between discrete energy states—is surprisingly complex and sometimes predictable, recent work shows
