Quantum gravity gets a new test

Scientists found 7 astrophysical tau neutrinos—particles that are notoriously difficult to detect—in an analysis of data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory

Cold Chemistry Is Different

Physicists had recorded the first laser-powered fusion reaction that exceeded “scientific breakeven,” meaning it produced more energy than it consumed.

Feynman's Reversed Sprinkler Puzzle Solved

Experiments verify a theory that explains why polymer solutions like paint doesn’t dry any faster on a dry day than on a wet day

Nuclear Ground State Of Beryllium-10 Has A Molecule-Like Structure

In 1938, German physicist Fritz London proposed that superfluidity is linked to the congregation of atoms into the same quantum state: a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)

Two Black Holes Masquerading as One

Researchers have pinned down the binding energy and lifetime of the so-called hypertriton, a particle that could help explain the structure of neutron stars

Probing the limits of nuclear existence (2022)

Using high-precision measurements of the Earth–Moon distance, physicists tested the idea that the strength of gravity felt by an object depends on the object’s composition as well as its mass

Researchers demonstrate a fluxonium qubit that retains its quantum information for 1.43 milliseconds, 10 times longer than the previous best lifetime for this system
