A new experiment provides better understanding of fundamental photo-induced processes with special importance for photocatalysis, photosynthesis and radiation damage. An international team from Germany, Sweden,…
The bounds are some of the tightest yet on the existence of third-generation leptoquarks. At the most fundamental level, matter is made up of two…
Technique is 10,000 faster than previous methods, and can create active nanostructured gates directly below two-dimensional materials such as graphene. It has long been a…
The Borexino experiment research team has succeeded in detecting neutrinos from the sun’s second fusion process, the Carbon Nitrogen Oxygen cycle (CNO cycle) for the…
The findings may help researchers design “spintronic” devices and novel magnetic materials. A new study illuminates surprising choreography among spinning atoms. In a paper appearing…
A joint international research team from POSTECH of South Korea, Raytheon BBN Technologies, Harvard University, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the U.S., Barcelona Institute…
Electrons inhabit a strange and topsy-turvy world. These infinitesimally small particles have never ceased to amaze and mystify despite the more than a century that…
Scientists recruit new atomic heavyweights in targeted fight against cancer. A promising approach to treating cancer — called targeted alpha-particle therapy or TAT — could…
Since the very beginning of quantum physics, a hundred years ago, it has been known that all particles in the universe fall into two categories:…
Next Step in Simulating the Universe Researchers led by the University of Tsukuba devise a new approach to show how ghost-like neutrinos helped shape the…
High-precision measurements of the strong interaction between stable and unstable particles. The positively charged protons in atomic nuclei should actually repel each other, and yet…
A cavity partitioned into multiple identical cells provides a highly efficient path to high-frequency axion dark matter searches. Despite its vanishingly tiny mass, the existence…
Matter is what makes up the universe, but what makes up matter? This question has long been tricky for those who think about it –…
Researchers have used AI to control beams for the next generation of smaller, cheaper accelerators for research, medical and industrial applications. Experiments led by Imperial…
Hearing Tones, Elements Through Atomic Music Data about the structure of atoms can be transformed into sounds, giving each element its own unique musical scale….
Water vapor from ambient air will spontaneously condense inside porous materials or between touching surfaces. But with the liquid layer being only a few molecules…
MIT grad student Chiara Salemi and Professor Lindley Winslow use the ABRACADABRA instrument to reveal insights into dark matter. On the first floor of MIT’s…
A hyper-sensitive instrument, deep underground in Italy, has finally succeeded at the nearly impossible task of detecting CNO neutrinos (tiny particles pointing to the presence…
