Researchers Study Interaction of Strong Laser Pulses with Glass Nanoparticles

A team of physicists and chemists from the Laboratory of Attosecond Physics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics has studied the interaction of light with tiny glass particles.

Researchers Make Most Precise Measurements of Charge-to-Mass Ratio of Protons and Antiprotons

The work, published in Nature, was carried out using CERN's Antiproton Decelerator, a device that provides low-energy antiprotons for antimatter studies.

South Pole-Based Icecube Experiment Detects Evidence of Fourth Ultra-High Energy Neutrino

Evidence of a fourth ultra-high energy neutrino—the highest-energy neutrino yet—has been detected by the South Pole-based IceCube experiment, a project that Berkeley Lab researchers helped build and to which they currently contribute analysis.

Neutrinos May Provide Key to the Evolution of the Universe

Every second, a trillion neutrinos from the sun and other celestial objects pass through our bodies like we’re invisible. And while neutrinos are the most abundant subatomic particles with mass in the universe –– a billion times more than those that make up the planets, stars and humans –– they so rarely interact with other matter that they are poorly understood and tricky to detect.

MicroBooNE Detector Records Images of Tracks of Cosmic Muons

A school bus-sized detector packed with 170 tons of liquid argon has seen its first particle footprints.

Successful Production of Holmium Samples Could Enable Sensitive Measurement of Neutrino Mass

To measure the mass of neutrinos, scientists study radioactive decays in which they are emitted. An essential ingredient is the decay energy which corresponds to the mass difference between the mother and daughter nuclei. This decay energy must be known with highest precision.

Researchers Perform Precision Measurements of Magnetic Properties of Francium Nucleus

Precise information about the magnetic properties of nuclei is critical for studies of what’s known as the ‘weak force.’ While people do not feel this force in the same way they feel electricity or gravity, its effects are universal.

Short-Baseline Neutrino Program Uses Three Detectors Positioned Along One of Fermilab's Neutrino Beams

In 1995, physicists working on the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector, or LSND, at Los Alamos National Laboratory stumbled upon some curious results.

Astronomers Identify Smallest Supermassive Black Hole at Center of RGG 118 Galaxy

Astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the 6.5-meter Clay Telescope in Chile have identified the smallest supermassive black hole ever detected in the center of a galaxy. This oxymoronic object could provide clues to how larger black holes formed along with their host galaxies 13 billion years or more in the past.

Astrophysics Professor to Render Modern Rethink to Einstein’s Theory at Sydney Science Festival

Warp drives might be the stuff of science fiction, but they could be a step closer to reality if we look to Einstein's theory of gravity, according to a University of Sydney researcher.
