Recent research has discovered that, in contrast to earlier assumptions, substantial quantities of aerosol particles are generated across extensive regions of the West Siberian taiga during spring. These findings indicate that rising temperatures can greatly influence the climate due to this phenome...

A new nanotechnology-based pest control method allows for deep soil delivery of pesticides, offering an effective solution to combat root-level nematode infestations while reducing environmental harm. A new form of agricultural pest control could one day take root—one that treats crop infestations d...

Argonne researchers have created a new device that acts like a superconductivity switch, helping boost the signal of tiny particles in particle colliders. In particle colliders that reveal the hidden secrets of the tiniest constituents of our universe, minute particles leave behind extremely faint e...

Innovative research leverages levitated optomechanics to observe quantum phenomena in larger objects, offering potential applications in quantum sensing and bridging the gap between quantum and classical mechanics. The question of where the boundary between classical and quantum physics lies is one ...

Particles colliding in accelerators produce numerous cascades of secondary particles. The electronics processing the signals avalanching in from the detectors then have a fraction of a second in which to assess whether an event is of sufficient interest to save it for later analysis. In the near fut...

The results, continuing the legacy of late Columbia professor Aron Pinczuk, are a step toward a better understanding of gravity. A team of scientists from Columbia, Nanjing University, Princeton, and the University of Munster, writing in the journal Nature, have presented the first experimental evid...

If the fractional quantum Hall regime were a series of highways, these highways would have either two or four lanes. The flow of the two-flux or four-flux composite fermions, like automobiles in this two- to four-flux composite fermion traffic scenario, naturally explains the more than 90 fractional...

Stanford material engineers have utilized 3D printing to create tens of thousands of hard-to-manufacture nanoparticles, that are expected to lead to the development of new materials capable of instantly altering their form. In nanomaterials, shape is destiny. That is, the geometry of the particle in...

Peter Higgs, pivotal in the discovery of the “God Particle,” has died at the age of 94. His groundbreaking work, for which he received a Nobel Prize, laid the foundation for understanding the universe’s fundamental structure and continues to guide current and future research in par...

The BESIII collaboration’s recent discovery of an anomalous decay pattern points to the possible existence of a proton-antiproton bound state, supported by evidence from historical and recent experiments. The BESIII collaboration recently reported the observation of an anomalous line shape aro...

The discovery and ongoing research into neutrinos have significantly altered the foundational concepts of particle physics, highlighting the particles’ mass and challenging the accuracy of the standard model. In the 1930s, it turned out that neither the energy nor the momentum balance is corre...

Argonne National Laboratory scientists have used anomaly detection in the ATLAS collaboration to search for new particles, identifying a promising anomaly that could indicate new physics beyond the Standard Model.
