Scientific first at CERN facility a preview of upcoming 3-year research campaign The international Forward Search Experiment team, led by physicists at the University of California, Irvine, has achieved the first-ever detection of neutrino candidates produced by the Large Hadron Collider at the CERN facility near Geneva, Switzerland. In a paper published today in the … Continue reading UCI-led Team of Physicists Detects Signs of Neutrinos at Large Hadron Collider For The First Time (Physics) →

In a first for particle physics, the CMS collaboration has observed three J/ψ particles emerging from a single collision between two protons It’s a triple treat. By sifting through data from particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the CMS collaboration has seen not one, not two but three J/ψ particles emerging from a single collision … Continue reading Physicists Observed 3 J/ψ Particles Emerging From A Single Collision Between Two Protons (Physics) →

Using an ultracold quantum gas of dysprosium atoms, it was possible for the first time to obtain a two-dimensional “droplet” lattice that possesses both the properties of a solid and a superfluid. We talk about it with the scientist at the head of the team of experimental physicists who conducted the experiment, Francesca Ferlaino of the … Continue reading The First 2D Super-solid Was Created in the Laboratory (Physics) →

Reproduced in the laboratory, through plasma physics experiments, the so-called “collisionless shocks”. The results show that the relativistic energies to which the particles are accelerated by the shock surfing acceleration process are sufficient to trigger a process capable of bringing them to energy values typical of cosmic rays. Among the authors of the study, published today in … Continue reading Surfing On The Shock Wave Front (Physics) →

Physics researchers at the University of North Florida’s Atomic LEGO Lab discovered a new electronic phenomenon they call “asymmetric ferroelectricity”. The research led by Dr. Maitri Warusawithana, UNF physics assistant professor, in collaboration with researchers at the University of Illinois and the Arizona State University, demonstrated this phenomenon for the first time in engineered two-dimensional … Continue reading UNF Physics Researchers Discover New Electronic Phenomenon (Physics) →

Physicists from the University of Southampton and ETH Zürich have reached a new threshold of light-matter coupling at the nanoscale. The international research, published this week in Nature Photonics, combined theoretical and experimental findings to establish a fundamental limitation of our ability to confine and exploit light. The collaboration focused on photonic nano-antennas fabricated in ever … Continue reading Researchers Discover New Limit of Trapping Light At the Nanoscale (Physics) →

A team of researchers, affiliated with UNIST has recently unveiled a hemolysis-free and highly efficient blood plasma separation platform. Published in the May 2021 issue of Small, this breakthrough has been led by Professor Joo H. Kang and his research team in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNIST. The research team expects that the new technology will greatly improve … Continue reading New Study Unveils Novel Technology for Plasma Separation Using Magnets (Physics) →

Precise theoretical predictions relevant for future neutrino experiments A team in the PRISMA+ cluster of excellence at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) succeeded in computing how atomic nuclei of the Calcium element behave in collisions with electrons. Results agree very well with available experimental data. For the first time, a calculation based on a fundamental … Continue reading Researchers Computed How Atomic Nuclei Of the Calcium Element Behave in Collisions With Electrons (Physics) →
