World-first detector designed by dark matter researchers records rare events
A ground-breaking detector that aims to use quartz to capture high frequency gravitational waves has been built by researchers at the ARC Centre of...
New exotic matter particle, a tetraquark, discovered
Discovery of a new exotic hadron containing two charm quarks and an up and a down antiquark.
Today, the LHCb experiment at CERN is presenting...
New evidence of an anomalous phase of matter brings energy-efficient technologies...
Researchers have found evidence for an anomalous phase of matter that was predicted to exist in the 1960s. Harnessing its properties could pave the...
Physicists bring human-scale object to near standstill, reaching a quantum state
Scientists at MIT and elsewhere have cooled a large, human-scale object to close to its motional ground state. Achieving this state involves super-cooling objects so that...
Scientists overhear two atoms chatting
Researchers have now been able to intercept a chat between two atoms. How materials behave depends on the interactions between countless atoms. You could...
Researchers see atoms at record resolution
A new high-powered electron microscope developed by researchers from Cornell University sets a new world record as having the most fine-tuned resolution. This latest...
Unexpected ‘Black Swan’ defect discovered in soft matter for first time
Scientists discover the soft matter defect named the "twin defect" that occurs in soft matter systems, like oils, surfactants, biological materials and natural polymers using an advanced...
