A new study has allowed physicists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and collaborators to measure the quantum geometry of electrons in solids. The research provides insights into the shape and behaviour of electrons within crystalline materials at a quantum level. Quantum geometry, which had previously been limited to theoretical predictions, has now been … Read more
Efforts to explain the universe’s anomalies continue to focus on dark mattera mysterious form of matter believed to account for most of the universe’s mass. This invisible entity influences galaxy movements and cosmic structures far more than visible matter. While researchers have long explored potential mass ranges for dark matter, a new study reveals that … Read more
A compact neutrino detector has successfully identified antineutrinos at a nuclear power plantmarking a significant advancement in particle physics. Unlike conventional detectors that require massive infrastructure, this device weighs less than three kilograms. Despite its size, it effectively detected antineutrinos emitted from a nuclear reactor in Leibstadt, Switzerland. The experiment, which lasted 119 days, involved … Read more
Efforts to study antimatter have progressed with new precision measurements conducted by an international team of researchers at CERN. The ALPHA experiment has been focused on antihydrogen, the antimatter counterpart of hydrogen, to understand its fundamental properties. The latest findings have allowed scientists to measure an electronic transition in antihydrogen with increased accuracy, which could … Read more
A new class of superconductors has been identified, demonstrating the ability to conduct electricity without resistance at a temperature of 45 kelvin (-228°C) and under normal atmospheric pressure. Research conducted at the Southern University of Science and Technology (Sustech) in Shenzhen, China, has led to this discovery in nickel oxide-based compounds. This advancement could significantly … Read more
At temperatures near absolute zero, atomic collisions have been controlled through magnetic fieldsenabling precise manipulation of quantum interactions. As temperatures rise, increased kinetic energy introduces complexity, making control significantly harder. However, according to reports, scientists have demonstrated that control over atomic collisions can extend beyond ultracold conditions. This research, conducted by a team from the … Read more
