Collaborate Disseminate
Scientists at MIT have directly captured signs of “second sound” in a superfluid for the first time. This bizarre phenomenon occurs when heat moves like sound waves through an unusual state of matter.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Heat… Continue reading Heat caught moving like sound waves in a superfluid for first time
Neutrinos are some of the most elusive particles that are well-known to science. These tiny subatomic particles have no electric charge and an extremely small mass, making them incredibly difficult …read more Continue reading Detecting Neutrinos, The Slippery Ghost Particles That Don’t Want To Interact
Astronomers have revealed more dramatic details of one of our most ghostly discoveries, the pulsar wind nebula MSH 15-52, also known as the ‘cosmic hand’ or ‘hand of God’. By combining the powers of two X-ray telescopes, NASA’s powerful Chandra X-ray O… Continue reading New findings reveal the ‘bones’ in the ghost-like ‘cosmic hand’ nebula
While studying a material that could help unlock the secrets of superconductors, scientists have accidentally discovered a “demon” particle that was first theorized almost 70 years ago, but had never been experimentally confirmed.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading “Demon particle” accidentally discovered, solving 67-year mystery
Physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) have discovered a completely new type of quantum entanglement, the spooky phenomenon that binds particles across any distance. In particle collider experiments, the new entanglement allowed scientists … Continue reading Physicists discover completely new type of quantum entanglement
The first dark matter detector in the Southern Hemisphere has been officially opened. The Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory (SUPL) is built in a disused gold mine in Australia, and the aim is to use its unique position on the globe to finally pick… Continue reading Australian dark matter detector joins the hunt with unique advantage
This month marks the 10th anniversary of the discovery of the Higgs boson, a true “Holy Grail” of science that had eluded detection for almost 50 years. But what exactly is this particle, and why is it so important? What has it taught us in the decade … Continue reading A brief history of the Higgs boson, the Holy Grail of physics
The world’s most sensitive dark matter detector is up and running, ready to tackle one of the most perplexing mysteries of the universe. With a sensitivity at least 50 times greater than its predecessors, the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is lurking quiet… Continue reading World’s most sensitive dark matter detector joins the hunt for WIMPs
The movements of the Sun, Moon and stars have long been used to keep track of time, and now engineers from the University of Tokyo have proposed a new way to use the cosmos to precisely track time, using showers of particles from cosmic rays.Continue R… Continue reading Cosmic timekeeping tech works underground or underwater
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the largest and most powerful particle accelerator ever built, is ready to go back into service after a three-year overhaul and refit. On April 22, 2022 at 12:16 pm CEST, two proton beams with an injection energy of 450… Continue reading Large Hadron Collider restarts after three-year refit
