The SNO+ detector. (SNOLAB) A tank of the purest water, buried under kilometers of rock in Ontario, Canada, flashed as a ...

Is it possible that in most measurements in the field of life sciences, important interactions remain hidden inside the cell or at the cell surface? This question has puzzled the team of laser- and ...

In the race to uncover the deepest secrets of the universe, researchers are turning to powerful new tools. One of the most promising tools is the quantum computer. It offers a way to explore problems ...

July 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest discoveries made at CERN, the international particle-physics research centre near Geneva, Switzerland: namely, weak neutral currents. The ...

Scientists believe that the radiation thought to come from black holes may not be a black hole exclusive. Called Hawking radiation, it’s the result of quantum fields producing particle-antiparticle ...

Scientists at CERN in Geneva have successfully conducted a delicate test involving the transportation of antiprotons, marking a significant milestone in antimatter research. The experiment involved ...

Physicists have long theorized the existence of a unique state of matter known as a quantum spin liquid. In this state, magnetic particles do not settle into an orderly pattern, even at absolute zero ...

Sitting in a restaurant, you reach for the ketchup bottle, eyeing the basket of fries in front of you. You give the bottle a shake, then a tap. For a moment, nothing happens—the ketchup clings ...

Scientists have made a satisfying and intriguing physics discovery some 16 years after it was first predicted to be a possibility: a quasiparticle (a group of particles behaving as one) that only has ...
