Most Precise Measurement of Matter-Antimatter Asymmetries in Charm Particles

Manchester scientists working at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) have reported the world’s most precise measurement of the difference between matter and antimatter – known as CP violation – during the decay of charm particles.

Exoplanet with Extremely Brief Orbital Period Discovered

In August, MIT researchers identified an exoplanet with an extremely brief orbital period: The team found that Kepler 78b, a small, intensely hot planet 400 light-years from Earth, circles its star in just 8.5 hours — lightning-quick, compared with our own planet’s leisurely 365-day orbit. From starlight data gathered by the Kepler Space Telescope, the scientists also determined that the exoplanet is about 1.2 times Earth’s size — making Kepler 78b one of the smallest exoplanets ever measured.

New Evidence for Universe’s Turbulent Youth 10 to 12 Billion Years Ago

New evidence of heavy elements spread evenly between the galaxies of the giant Perseus cluster supports the theory that the universe underwent a turbulent and violent youth more than 10 billion years ago. That explosive period was responsible for seeding the cosmos with the heavy elements central to life itself.

Sanford Lab’s Large Underground Xenon Proves as Most Sensitive Dark Matter Detector

After its first run of more than three months, operating a mile underground in the Black Hills of South Dakota, a new experiment named LUX has proven itself the most sensitive dark matter detector in the world.

Hofstadter-Harper and Quantum Spin Hall Hamiltonian Implemented Using Neutral Atom Crystal

After more than 40 years of intense research, experimental physicists still seek to explore the rich behaviour of electrons confined to a two-dimensional crystalline structure exposed to large magnetic fields. Now a team of scientists around Prof. Immanuel Bloch (Chair for Experimental Physics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich and Director at MPQ) in collaboration with the theoretical physicist Dr. Belén Paredes (CSIC/UAM Madrid) developed a new experimental method to simulate these systems using a crystal made of neutral atoms and laser light.
