Fragments of the interior of a proton have been shown by scientists from Mexico and Poland to exhibit maximum quantum entanglement. The discovery, already confronted…
Inside each proton or neutron there are three quarks bound by gluons. Until now, it has often been assumed that two of them form a…
When heavy ions, accelerated to the speed of light, collide with each other in the depths of European or American accelerators, quark-gluon plasma is formed…
Looking at the night sky, one’s thoughts might be drawn to astrochemistry. What molecules inhabit the vast spaces between the stars? Would we see the…
For years, in the vastness of our galaxy, astrophysicists have been tracking down pevatrons – natural accelerators of particles with monstrous energies. Thanks to the…
At the heart of Cygnus, one of the most beautiful constellations of the summer sky, beats a source of high-energy cosmic ray particles: the Cygnus…
Until recently, scientists believed that only very massive nuclei could have excited zero-spin states of increased stability with a significantly deformed shape. Meanwhile, an international…
Ultracold atoms trapped in appropriately prepared optical traps can arrange themselves in surprisingly complex, hitherto unobserved structures, according to scientists from the Institute of Nuclear…
New Type of Coupled Electronic-Structural Waves Discovered in Magnetite An international team of scientists uncovered exotic quantum properties hidden in magnetite, the oldest magnetic material…
Entanglement by Identity, or Interaction Without Ever Touching What is interaction and when does it occur? Intuition suggests that the necessary condition for the interaction…
It started with scientific astonishment. Why is there a green glow when looking at an infrared emitting device? “Such a strange phenomenon was observed by…
In a recent development of the story about wood ants trapped in a post-Soviet nuclear weapons bunker in Poland, scientists, led by Professor Wojciech Czechowski,…
Having built their nest over the vertical ventilation pipe of an old nuclear weapon bunker in Poland, every year a large number of wood ants…
