Researchers investigate whether dark matter particles actually are produced inside a jet of standard model particles

Magnetron sputtering is a thin film deposition technique used extensively in materials science, optics, and electronics to fabricate different thin films with special functions due to its high sputtering rate and low deposition temperature requirement. This article discusses the application of magnetron sputtering in the fabrication of thin films.

Forty years after the observation of weak neutral currents at CERN, Luciano Maiani reflects on their impact.

In Applied Physics Letters, researchers report achieving self-sustaining and long-term levitation of millimeter-sized droplets of several different liquids without any external forces. To get the droplets to levitate, they use solutocapillary convection, which occurs when a surface tension gradient is formed by nonuniform distribution of vapor molecules from the droplet at the pool surface. Further exploring the effects of various external conditions on self-sustained droplet levitation will rev...

The backstory and legacy of the Gargamelle collaboration’s epochal discovery of neutral currents 50 years ago.

Our universe could be located within the interior of a wormhole which itself is part of a black hole that lies within a much larger universe, according to a new paper published in Physics Letters B.

When two heavy ions collide at very high relativistic energies, they penetrate one another, during which they become excited and are slowed down. This "stopping" process can be generated experimentally, as demonstrated on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Europes CERN research center in Geneva (Switzerland).

In this article, nanowire thin films (NTFs) and the feasibility of their application for ultra-sensitive chemical detection are discussed.

The Hawking radiation emitted by black holes may be able to carry information after all, a new solution to Stephen Hawkings famous paradox suggests.

Gastrointestinal tract or gut imaging and analysis are valuable for clinical and research studies of gastrointestinal disorders. Previously, conventional radiology techniques have been dominant; however, advancements in non-invasive modalities, such as combined x-ray and photoacoustic imaging, have transformed gastrointestinal research.
