We know that the universe is expanding, and our understanding of nature based on general relativity and the Standard Model of elementary particles is consistent [more…]
Machine learning uses data and algorithms to imitate the way that humans learn, gradually improving its own accuracy. In recent years, it has become a [more…]
Extra time dimensions provide scientists with a new way to think about phases of matter for more stable qubits and robust quantum computers. Quantum computers [more…]
The LUX-ZEPLIN detector is now operational and ready to capture weakly interacting particles believed to be the constituents of dark matter. Physicists from over 35 [more…]
Physicists have reported the observation of a tetraneutron, a subatomic particle consisting of just four neutrons. Almost all atomic nuclei contain neutrons, which are bound [more…]
An elusive new elementary particle called the sterile neutrino may have just been spotted by physicists. The neutrino is sometimes called the “ghost particle” because [more…]
Quantum computing to process large amounts of data tested by bringing together complementary and versatile quantum processors. Quantum computers are fundamentally different from their classical [more…]
Researchers put quantum electrodynamics to the test, pushing the boundaries of the Standard Model of physics. Our understanding of charged particles’ interactions with each other [more…]
Understanding the physics of plasma instabilities and developing the ability to control them is crucial for a working nuclear fusion reactor. Nuclear fusion is one [more…]
Tweaking the rules of gravity via Modified Newtonian dynamics provides a possible alternative explanation for the behavior of galaxies The inexplicably large rotation velocities of [more…]
