Electronic properties of condensed matter are often determined by an intricate competition between kinetic energy that aims to overlap and delocalize electronic wave functions across…
A precision measurement of helium and hydrogen mirror isotopes reveals new questions in understanding of nuclear structure. It’s not often in nuclear physics that you…
An international collaboration bringing together over 200 scientists from 13 countries has shown that the very high-energy gamma-ray emission from quasars, galaxies with a highly…
XENON1T data could be either evidence of new particle physics or unexpected contaminant. The XENON1T detector, tucked into an Italian mountainside to search for signs…
The first quantum phase battery has been realized. It consist of an indium arsenide (InAs) nanowire in contact with aluminum superconducting leads and is a…
Thinking Small: New Ideas in the Search for Dark Matter Since the 1980s, researchers have been running experiments in search of particles that make up…
Theoretical physicist William Detmold unlocks the mysteries of quarks, gluons, and their “strong interactions” at the subatomic level. How do protons fuse to power the…
Two prominent X-ray emission lines of highly charged iron have puzzled astrophysicists for decades: their measured and calculated brightness ratios always disagree. This hinders good…
Scientists remain perplexed by the activity, with some 40 papers so far giving wildly different answers. A new research paper co-authored by a Virginia Tech…
New experimental technique with Goethe University’s reaction microscope allows ‘X-ray’ of individual molecules. For more than 200 years, we have been using X-rays to look…
Oxygen is highly reactive. It accumulates on many surfaces and determines their chemical behavior. At the Vienna University of Technology, scientists study the interaction between…
The universe mainly consists of a novel substance and an energy form that are not yet understood. This ‘dark matter’ and ‘dark energy’ are not…
Bayreuth researchers discover new high-pressure material and solve a puzzle of the periodic table. In the periodic table of elements there is one golden rule…
The ALICE collaboration has presented new results on the production rates of antideuterons based on data collected at the highest collision energy delivered so far…
