Scientists have finally discovered this strange ghost particle from X-rays beaming from dead stars. A study argues that the "axion" particle may help physicists unravel some of the cosmos mysteries, including that of dark matter. (Photo: i.ytimg.com) A mysterious, unexpected rise in X-rays released by many neutron stars, which are "dead" stars consisting entirely of neutrons, is assumed by researchers to be a hint of axions. Researchers had the study published in Physical Review Letters. Wha...

Traces of a Mysterious Particle Predicted Decades Ago May Have Been Detected Evidence of a long-sought hypothetical particle could have been hiding in plain (X-ray) sight all this time. The X-ray emission coming off a collection of neutron stars known as the Magnificent Seven is so excessive that it could be coming from axions, a long-predicted kind of particle, forged in the dense cores of these dead objects, scientists have demonstrated.   If their findings are confirmed, this discovery cou...

Date Time Excess x-rays from neutron stars could lead to discovery of new particle A team of scientists, including a University of Minnesota researcher, have found that mysterious x-rays detected from nearby neutron stars may be the first evidence of axions, hypothetical particles that many physicists believe make up dark matter. If their theory is confirmed, the researchers’ findings could help physicists unravel several mysteries of the universe. Their paper is published in Physical Review ...

MelBOX arrives at the University of Melbourne (Image: Matteo Volpi/University of Melbourne) On 16 September 2020, a container filled with pallets, boxes and electronic racks left CERN’s Meyrin site to embark on a two-month sea journey to the other side of the world. On 17 November, at precisely 3.12 p.m. local time, its ship docked at Port Melbourne, from where, following customs clearance earlier this year, the container and its contents were transported to a new...

Press/NIST After weighing this package of marijuana, NIST research chemist Brent Wilson ground up the contents to prepare samples with very precisely measured amounts of THC, CBD and other compounds. Those samples will be sent to labs as part of a study that will help labs improve their measurement accuracy. Labs that are not licensed to handle controlled substances will receive samples of hemp instead of marijuana. Hemp and marijuana both come from the Cannabis plant. But ...

Physicists Detect Tantalising Hints of a "Fundamentally New Form of Quantum Matter" 13 JANUARY 2021 Metals and insulators are the yin and yang of physics, their respective material properties strictly dictated by their electrons mobility - metals should conduct electrons freely, while insulators keep them in place.    So when physicists from Princeton University in the US found a quantum quirk of metals bouncing around inside an insulating compound, they were lost for an explanation. Well n...

Conversation about pelosis next steps. what are you hearing about how the white house might respond and what comes next? >> reporter: the words of the day from white house officials, incredulous, youre absolutely right. insane is another one. hypocritical. one official telling me how can democrats argue they needed to move with al lackity and then at the same time pull this maneuver which essentially will stall the process. those are only month the talking points that youre hearing here at the w...
