Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) is a key exclusive process in which a highly virtual photon, emitted by an incoming electron, probes a nucleon resulting in the emission of a high‐energy real ...

Scientists have spotted the first evidence of a rare Higgs boson decay, expanding our understanding of the strange quantum universe. In 2012, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to a breakthrough ...

Fundamental physics faces a stubborn paradox: the current impossibility of reconciling the rules of the quantum world with ...

Rochester Institute of Technology is launching an online speaker series that will feature international pioneers in the advancement of photonics for quantum devices. The Virtual Photonics for Quantum ...

When quantum electrodynamics, the quantum field theory of electrons and photons, was being developed after World War II, one of the major challenges for theorists was calculating a value for the Lamb ...

Since the discovery of the double helix form of DNA and the hypothesis of DNA mutation induced by proton transfer more than 50 years ago, it has been recognized that proton transfer is crucial to many ...
