Scientists Measure Elusive Particles that Cannot be Observed Using Light

For the first time, researchers have directly observed and quantified mysterious particles, known as dark excitons, that otherwise cannot be visualized by light.

New Analysis Reveals How Asteroids Formed During Early Years of the Solar System

One Friday evening in 1992, a meteorite ended a more than 150 million-mile journey by smashing into the trunk of a red Chevrolet Malibu in Peekskill, New York. The car's owner reported that the 30-pound remnant of the earliest days of our solar system was still warm and smelled of sulfur.

Cosmological Simulations Accurately Depict How Neutrinos Shape the Universe

The effect that nearly massless, subatomic particles called neutrinos have on the formation of galaxies has long been a cosmological mystery--one that physicists have sought to measure since discovering the particles in 1956.

Study Reports a Hint of New Physics in the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

Using Planck data from the cosmic microwave background radiation, an international team of researchers has observed a hint of new physics. The team developed a new method to measure the polarization angle of the ancient light by calibrating it with dust emission from our own Milky Way.

Laser-Plasma Amplifier Used to Observe Nonlinear Ionization Dynamics of Hot Dense Plasma

The last decade has been marked by a series of remarkable discoveries identifying how the universe is composed. It is understood that the mysterious substance dark matter makes up 85% of the matter in the universe. Observable matter in the universe consists of ionized particles.

FEFU Scientists Propose Direct Magnetic Writing of Skyrmions

Scientists of Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) with international collaborators propose direct magnetic writing of skyrmions, i.e. magnetic quasiparticles, and skyrmion lattices, within which it is possible to encode, transmit, process information, and produce topological patterns with a resolution of less than 100 nanometers.
