Detecting Anti-Neutrinos from Distant Fission Reactors Using Pure Water at SNO+

Although neutrinos are exceedingly common, their near-massless configuration means that their presence is rather ephemeral. Despite billions of them radiating every second towards Earth from sources like our Sun, most …read more Continue reading Detecting Anti-Neutrinos from Distant Fission Reactors Using Pure Water at SNO+

Unknown Quantum Effect Makes Insulator Oscillate

If there are two classes of matter that electronics people can agree on, its conductors and insulators. Electrically, conductors and insulators don’t have much in common. The same has held true in the quantum physics world until some research at …read more
