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.
A muonium gravity test would probe an atom containing a second-generation antilepton. Producing a suitable beam is one step. Extracting a reliable acceleration from microseconds of flight is another, with…
ATLAS has published strong evidence that the two Z bosons produced in a Higgs decay are entangled, rejecting an unentangled alternative at 4.7 sigma. The result is solid, and ATLAS…
Francis Halzen’s Nobel Prize highlights a new way to study cosmic accelerators. IceCube detects their elusive neutrinos, but a detector signal is only the first step. Identifying a source requires…
It is the most precisely tested theory in science, and it still will not tell us what it means. What quantum mechanics says, the experiments that forced it on physicists,…
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…
BESIII has measured X(2370) in several decay channels and established its pseudoscalar quantum numbers. A newer combined analysis gives a mass near 2.36 GeV/c². These results support the glueball investigation,…
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…
