Study reveals brains and stock markets follow the same rules in a crisis
A University of Michigan study shows brains and stock markets share crisis rules, using phase transitions to predict first-order collapses or gradual recoveries
Physicists first observe single top quark production with W and Z bosons
CMS at the LHC reports the first observation of tWZ production, a one-in-a-trillion single-top quark event with W and Z bosons, probing electroweak couplings
CERN trap recycles anions to study the heaviest elements
CERN’s ISOLDE researchers use the electrostatic GANDALPH trap to recycle astatine anions, enabling the first electron affinity measurement of 2.416 eV
Neutrino detectors could function as giant particle colliders
Scientists have proposed a novel way to probe the frontiers of particle physics by repurposing massive neutrino detectors as colossal…
Higgs boson may decide the ultimate fate of the universe
The Higgs boson and top quark masses suggest our universe is metastable, with a false vacuum that could decay over about 10^30 years per LHC measurements
New model detects ballistic electrons under realistic conditions
New model identifies ballistic electrons in real devices by predicting clear edge voltage patterns when a ballistic channel sits in a broader conductive sheet
Newly proven atomic decay pathway refines the nuclear periodic table
In a landmark achievement for nuclear physics, a research team has for the first time experimentally proven a long-theorized decay…
