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.
Between early 2025 and mid-2026, quantum processors have gone from simulating toy models of particle physics to watching confinement, string breaking, and hadron scattering play out in real time. These…
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 fourth neutrino that feels no weak force explained thirty years of anomalies. MicroBooNE excluded it at 95% confidence and KATRIN found no kink in 36 million electrons. The eV-scale…
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…
The Standard Model describes electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions through a shared quantum-field framework. Its familiar chart groups particles into 17 labels, while 19 measured parameters define the conventional minimal…
Some cosmological fits push the total neutrino mass towards or below the minimum required by oscillations. KATRIN measures a different effective mass. Understanding the tension means keeping the datasets, confidence…
Error correction crossed the threshold, a quantum advantage became verifiable, and the cost of breaking RSA fell — on maths, not hardware. What actually changed, and what each result promises.
The quantum vacuum is the ground state of quantum fields, with fluctuations and correlations even when no particles are present. Precision experiments test its consequences. What those tests do not…
