Exploiting defects in 2D hexagonal boron nitride to create reliable single photons, researchers have upped their quantum encryption game. In recent years, quantum mechanics has [more…]
Researchers have found that supernovae explosions are preceded by observable radiation whose features should make it possible to distinguish the radiation of a future supernova [more…]
Researchers at the Southern University of Science and Technology in China ask if gravitons can be promising candidates for dark matter components. Since the 1930s, [more…]
Cold ytterbium atoms were used to test a fundamental theory which describes phenomena in solids such as magnetism and superconductivity. Many physical phenomena take place [more…]
A new experimental technique could push the capabilities of particle accelerators in exploring the subatomic world. Particle accelerators are indispensable tools, having contributed to new [more…]
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…]
