New Theory Could Explain Why Dark Matter Has Evaded Direct Detection in Earth-Based Experiments

Lawrence Livermore scientists have come up with a new theory that may identify why dark matter has evaded direct detection in Earth-based experiments.

Physicists Use New Approach to Understand the Internal Structure of Atomic Nuclei

The precise structure of atomic nuclei is an old problem that has not been fully solved yet, and it also constitutes a current research focus in the field of natural sciences.

Years of Cosmic Search Casts Doubt on Our Understanding of Galaxies and Black Holes

One hundred years since Einstein proposed gravitational waves as part of his general theory of relativity, an 11-year search performed with CSIRO's Parkes telescope has failed to detect them, casting doubt on our understanding of galaxies and black holes.

Space Telescopes Detect Increased Rate of X-ray Flares from Milky Way’s Supermassive Black Hole

Three orbiting X-ray space telescopes have detected an increased rate of X-ray flares from the usually quiet giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy after new long-term monitoring.

Scientists Successfully Cool and Power Up Complex Muon G-2 Magnet

Two years ago, scientists on the Muon g-2 experiment successfully brought a fragile, expensive and complex 17-ton electromagnet on a 3200-mile land and sea trek from Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York to Fermilab in Illinois. But that was just the start of its journey.

SLAC Undertakes Key Roles in Four Neutrino Experiments

Of all known fundamental particles, neutrinos may be the most mysterious: Although they are highly abundant in the universe and were discovered experimentally in 1956, researchers still have a lot left to learn about them.

New Experiment Lays Foundations for Research on 'Spin Caloritronics'

An experiment at Tohoku University (Japan) in 2008 laid the foundations for research on 'spin caloritronics' - a field that aims to develop more effective and energy-saving data processing in information technology.

Frustrated Magnets Produce Tiny Magnetic Vortices that Could be Used in Memory Storage

Theoretical physicists from the University of Groningen, supported by the FOM Foundation, have discovered that so-called 'frustrated magnets' can produce skyrmions, tiny magnetic vortices that may be used in memory storage.

New Image Reveals Cosmic Landscape of Gas Clouds, Dust and Newborn Stars

The nebula pictured here may have had more names bestowed upon it over the ages than any other object of its kind. Although officially known as Messier 17, its nicknames include: the Omega Nebula, the Swan Nebula, the Checkmark Nebula, the Horseshoe Nebula and — lest those with more of a more marine bent miss out — the Lobster Nebula.

Researchers Exploit Orbital Angular Momentum for Neutron-Based Quantum Information Processing and Imaging

It's easy to contemplate the wave nature of light in common experience. White light passing through a prism spreads out into constituent colors; it diffracts from atmospheric moisture into a rainbow; light passing across a sharp edge or a diffraction grating creates an interference pattern.
