Social Media Ideas for Particles And Interactions

What are good approaches for a browser-based particle editor that keeps effects as local files and supports agent-assist...

I’m working on a free browser-based particle/VFX editor built on Three.js. The main design goals are: No install, runs entirely in the browser Effects stay as local files in the u...

Tiny Particles Defy Action-Reaction Symmetry to Stay in Motion

From schools of fish and flocks of birds to microscopic particles that assemble, scatter, and move as though they were alive, active matter is challenging long-held ideas about how...

Two Opposing Quantum Particles Could Form a Bizarre New Kind of Matter

Researchers predict that strongly interacting bosons and fermions can form stable quantum droplets that may be testable with current experiments. Two very different kinds of quantu...

Do we owe our existence to weird ‘virtual’ particles?

When considering what makes up a human body, a physicist drills down beyond the atomic level. Columnist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein explores the not-exactly-real particles that allow...

How can I keep particle trails visually consistent when emitter speed changes?

I’m working in NixieFX (https://nixiefx.com/) on a stylized VFX setup where a moving object emits particles that form a trail behind it. The problem I’m running into is that the tr...

Unpacking Particle Showers with Machine Learning

Author(s): Samuel JarmanA new AI-powered event-processing algorithm is being readied to cope with the torrent of data that will stream from the Large Hadron Collider upgrade.[Physi...

Strange paraparticles could be reality’s missing ingredient

Neither matter nor force, paraparticles would be something else entirely. Fresh hints that they exist are raising hopes that they could explain reality at its deepest level

Thermodynamics Explained for Spinning Particles

Self-propelled “active” particles—microscopic objects that move by internally generating motion—have long challenged the classical picture of thermodynamics. A new study from Heinr...

Quark–Gluon Plasma Jet Leaves a Wake

Author(s): Rachel BerkowitzBack-to-back jets produced during heavy-ion collisions reveal a plasma property predicted by quantum chromodynamics.[Physics 19, s100] Published Thu Aug...

Protons and neutrons are more than just groups of three quarks

Comparison between theoretical models and experimental data favours alternative “baryon junctions” picture The post Protons and neutrons are more than just groups of three quarks a...
