Exclusion of the sterile-neutrino hypothesis by nuclear reaction
Neutrinos are named such because they are electrically neutral and are a type of elementary particle that are mostly created during radioactive decay.
How to account for the fast expansion of the universe without dark energy
Our understanding of gravity is based on Einstein's general relativity theory, which was finished in 1915.
No additional particles are required to solve the nuclear reactor mystery
A physics puzzle has been solved with a conclusion that is roughly as stunning as "the butler did it." Physicists have debated for a decade why nuclear…
Rare instances of "dark lightning" might temporarily touch passengers when flying
During a lightning storm, brilliant bursts of gamma radiation can also explode. These flashes of gamma radiation are known as dark lightning or terrestrial…
The bendable and pliable optical fiber that never compromises data integrity
Modern information networks rely on optical fibres as their backbone. From long-distance Internet communication to high-speed data transfer within data…
The switch to renewable energy will require innovative energy storage technology
As the globe moves away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy sources, a basic problem persists: what happens when the wind stops blowing or the sun…
A glance into the Very (High Energy) bright future
With the use of the powerful tool known as multi-messenger astronomy, we may examine astrophysical sources by examining them in the context of various…
The 2023 science events to keep an eye on
The year 2022 was a watershed moment for technological advancement and scientific discovery.
Multiple potential technological avenues for quantum computing and a new record for the neutrino mass limit
The international tritium neutrino experiment (KATRIN) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology has obtained a new upper limit on the mass of neutrinos: 0.8eV…
The particle that could cause a revolution in physics
To understand why the neutrino can provoke a revolution, we need some history. In the early 1960s the situation in theoretical physics was, to put it mildly…
Scientists speculate that dark photons may make up dark matter
Dark matter could be composed of ultralight dark photons that have heated our universe. This is a new scenario proposed in a study published recently in the…
