A major physics experiment has uncovered evidence for a strange new form of matter, where a fleeting particle gets trapped inside a nucleus. This exotic state may reveal how mass is generated, ...

Gene editing has emerged as a powerful approach for targeting the genetic causes of disease, but getting the editing machinery into the right cells efficiently, safely, and at the scale needed for ...

Particle measurements in ultra-pure water (UPW) systems can take a long time to return to a stable baseline after an incident that disrupts regular operation (such as a maintenance shutdown). A ...

A weird force that skirts traditional physics norms has helped erase a smudge on the foundations of particle physics. It’s a phenomenon called the “neutrino force,” by which neutrinos could ...

Physicists have measured the mass of one of the universe’s basic building blocks, the W boson particle. The new calculation, made at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, could help solve a ...

Our planet is under a constant bombardment of radiation—from space. Well, maybe it’s not as scary as that makes it seem. “Radiation” is a catchall term astronomers use for forms of light—including ...

Games are increasingly being rendered using AI, so Microsoft is bringing AI into the way future graphics chips will render games. Microsoft introduced DirectX Linear Algebra as well as the DirectX ...

Ray tracing is a gee-wiz feature for the most powerful hardware out there, but you do need, well, powerful hardware in order to use it. Tricks like supersampling and frame generation can make it more ...

In context: Shader Execution Reordering significantly reduces the performance cost of ray tracing and path tracing in games such as Alan Wake 2 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on recent Nvidia ...
