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 reveal whether it can be harnessed and adapted for microbiology and biochemistry applications.

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