Higgs Mode Obtained via Dimensional Crossover in Quantum Magnets

In 2013, François ENGLERT and Peter HIGGS won the Nobel Prize in Physics for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, which was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle by the A Toroidal LHC Apparatus and the Compact Muon Solenoid experiments at The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)'s Large Hadron Collider in 2012.

Study Shows How Cosmic Rays Affect the Formation of Stars in Galaxies

Young massive stars located in galaxies control the triggering of star formation as well as its quenching. These massive stars inject momentum and energy into the interstellar medium.

Research Sheds New light on How Different Cosmic Rays Arrive at Earth

New findings published this week in Physical Review Letters suggest that carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen cosmic rays travel through the galaxy toward Earth in a similar way, but, surprisingly, that iron arrives at Earth differently.

Trans-Neptunian Objects with Different Surface Colors Have Different Orbital Patterns

Abu Dhabi, UAE: Trans-Neptunian Objects, small objects that orbit the sun beyond Neptune, are fossils from the early days of the solar system which can tell us a lot about its formation and evolution.

Galaxy's Missing Dark Matter Secrets Unresolved

When astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope uncovered an oddball galaxy that looked like it didn't have much dark matter, some thought the finding was hard to believe and looked for a simpler explanation.

New Research Confirms the Lack of Dark Matter in Galaxies

The most precise distance measurement yet of NGC1052-DF2 — the ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG) — has clearly confirmed that it lacks dark matter.

Dust Cloud Causes the 'Great Dimming' of Betelgeuse

When Betelgeuse, a bright orange star in the constellation of Orion, lost more than two-thirds of its brightness in late 2019 and early 2020, astronomers were puzzled.

UC Riverside-Led Study Reveals How Supermassive Black Holes Originate

Supermassive black holes, or SMBHs, are black holes with masses that are several million to billion times the mass of our sun.

Quantum Nonlocality is a Universal Property Regardless of Particle Speed

The phenomenon of quantum nonlocality defies our everyday intuition. It shows the strong correlations between several quantum particles some of which change their state instantaneously when the others are measured, regardless of the distance between them.
