A newly published Science journal paper reveals that water can exist as two liquids of differing density. Water is a ubiquitous liquid with many highly…
Why do certain materials emit electrons with a very specific energy? This has been a mystery for decades — scientists at TU Wien have found…
An artist’s impression of an axion, a hypothetical elementary particle, which has been invoked to explain why charge–parity symmetry is preserved in quantum chromodynamics. They…
The Standard Model includes the matter particles (quarks and leptons), the force carrying particles (bosons), and the Higgs boson. Credit: Artwork courtesy of Sandbox Studio,…
Depiction of the clamping device and how it works. Credit: Jake Pate As scientists build smaller and smaller machines, they need to understand the invisible…
A cube of magnetic material levitates above a superconductor. The field of the magnet induces currents in the superconductor that generate an equal and opposite…
An MIT-led team simulated the behavior of protons and neutrons in several types of atomic nuclei, finding that the formulas describing how atoms behave in…
In their research, the researchers also demonstrated the peculiarity of a new type of “Bad metals,” called “Hund’s metals,” important for a class of iron-based…
David Fischer sits beside the experiment’s vacuum chamber (illuminated in blue), where the high temperature superconductor tapes will be mounted for proton irradiation and in…
Typical magnetic field variations as mapped by the trolley at different positions in the Muon g-2 experiment’s storage ring, shown at the parts-per-million level. Credit:…
At DESY´s ARES accelerator, the research team wants to gain experience with autonomous operation. Credit: DESY/F. Burkart Particle accelerators are universal tools: They help in…

A wheel-shaped muon detector is part of an ATLAS particle detector upgrade at CERN. A new study applies “unfolding,” or error-correction techniques used for particle…
The ability to cancel magnetic fields has benefits in quantum technology, biomedicine, and neurology. A team of scientists including two physicists at the University of…
This set of renderings shows the completed GRETA array (top and bottom left) and half of the completed array (right). The detector is designed to…
Superconductivity is a phenomenon where an electric circuit loses its resistance and becomes extremely efficient under certain conditions. There are different ways in which this…
Recirculating flows, namely wakes, are observed both in the front of the cougher (left) and at the back of the listener (right). A droplet may…
