Astronomers have detected high-energy neutrinos coming from within our Milky Way galaxy, potentially opening up an exciting new window of research, a new study reports. Neutrinos are extraordinarily difficult to spot, as they rarely collide with atoms. A light-year’s worth of lead would stop only about half of the neutrinos flying through it (which explains … Read more
By U.S. Department of Energy June 29, 2023 In dense nuclear matter, quarks “line up,” becoming essentially one-dimensional. Calculations considering that single dimension plus time can track how low energy excitations ripple through nuclear matter. Credit: Brookhaven National Laboratory Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have used two-dimensional condensed matter physics to understand the quark interactions … Read more
Astronomers might soon get their first peek into the dark universe. On Saturday, July 1, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Euclid spacecraft will launch on a SpaceX rocket from Florida on a mission to peer into deep space and unveil the elusive dark universe — and NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will be an important … Read more
