A paper based on joint research by Prof. YUAN Changzheng from Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Prof. Marek Karliner from Tel Aviv University of Israel, was…
A new laser that generates quantum particles can recycle lost energy for highly efficient, low threshold laser applications. Scientists at KAIST have fabricated a laser…
Experiment opens up field for new physics, say Fermilab, UChicago scientists. The news that muons have a little extra wiggle in their step sent word…
Researchers from Skoltech and their colleagues from the UK have managed to create a stable giant vortex in interacting polariton condensates, addressing a known challenge…
One of the most cherished laws of physics — the conservation of charge — has come under fire in “startling” research by physicists. The paper…
Radioactive molecules are sensitive to subtle nuclear phenomena and might help physicists probe the violation of the most fundamental symmetries of nature. Imagine a dust…
What Are Atomic Nuclei? In 1911, Ernest Rutherford discovered that at the core of every atom is a nucleus. Atomic nuclei consist of electrically positive…
There is a significant discrepancy between theoretical and observed amounts of lithium in our universe. This is known as the cosmological lithium problem, and it…
Finding the hypothetical particle axion could mean finding out for the first time what happened in the Universe a second after the Big Bang, suggests…
A scientific breakthrough: Researchers from Tel Aviv University have engineered the world’s tiniest technology, with a thickness of only two atoms. According to the researchers,…
Researchers at ETH Zurich have succeeded in observing a crystal that consists only of electrons. Such Wigner crystals were already predicted almost ninety years ago…
Using LIGO’s suspended mirrors, researchers have demonstrated the ability to cool a large-scale object — the 10-kilogram optomechanical oscillator the suspended mirrors form — to…
New research shows how the fundamental law of conservation of charge could break down near a black hole. Singularities, such as those at the center…
What Is Nucleosynthesis? Nucleosynthesis is the creation of new atomic nuclei, the centers of atoms that are made up of protons and neutrons. Nucleosynthesis first…
The results open possibilities for studying gravity’s effects on relatively large objects in quantum states. To the human eye, most stationary objects appear to be…
Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have observed the absorption of a single electron by a levitated droplet with such a magnification that it is…
Tiny charged electrons and protons which can damage satellites and alter the ozone have revealed some of their mysteries to University of Otago scientists. In…
