Research write-ups, analysis and explainers, newest first. Every article is grounded in primary literature and the numbers link to the papers they came from.
The first ever measurement of neutron capture on niobium-94 came back close to the theoretical estimate it replaced. That is the key finding. For two decades, stellar models struggled to…
Two oxygen nuclei carry sixteen protons and neutrons apiece. Smash them together and the jets that come out lose energy on the way, which means something hot and dense sat…
A quantum processor has run a universal gate set built entirely out of moving exotic quasiparticles around one another and fusing them together. Fifty-four qubits, one phase of matter, three…
A pressurised water reactor that has been offline for three weeks still sends about six antineutrino events a day into a detector 400 metres away. Double Chooz has measured that…
Gluons pull on each other, so they should be able to bind into a particle with no quarks at all. BESIII says X(2370) is dominated by one. The measurements are…
The commissioning paper reports 1785 photoelectrons per MeV, 20.6 m scintillator transparency and uranium below 10⁻¹⁶ g/g. The first physics paper reports the world's best solar oscillation parameters from 59.1…
As of late June 2026, the world’s most powerful particle accelerator has officially bid farewell to collisions. The High-Luminosity LHC upgrade (HL-LHC) marks a pivotal four-year transformation. Consequently, this project…
