Analysing long-lived particles could explain mysteries of the Universe

Physicists participating in the ATLAS experiment are on the hunt for new, long-lived particles that could help to explain several outstanding mysteries of the Universe. What have scientists discovered regarding long-lived particles? High-energy collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) permit...

Superconductive materials with potential for real-world applications

A research team from Linköping University has made headway in discovering superconductive materials that are useful in real-world situations. How was this superconductive material discovered? Scientists have discovered that magnesium diboride becomes superconductive at a higher temperature when it is stretched....

Photoionisation used to gain insights into complex molecular potential

The mechanism of photoionisation has been used to highlight how complex pathways influence time delays in the ionisation of molecules. How can researchers employ the mechanism of photoionisation to gain an insight into complex molecular potential? This question has now...

Behaviour of hybrid matter-antimatter atoms in superfluid helium revealed

A collaborative study conducted by CERN and ASACUSA has revealed that hybrid matter-antimatter atoms have an unexpected response to laser light when immersed in superfluid helium. What has been discovered about the hybrid matter-antimatter atoms? “Our study suggests that hybrid matter–antimatter...

UK Government announces plans for largest ever research and development budget

The £39.8 billion research and development budget for 2022-2025 will help deliver the UK Government's Innovation Strategy and drive forward scientific ambitions. The largest ever research and development budget (R&D), worth £39.8 billion, has been allocated across the Department for...

Imaging the electron dynamics in atoms made possible

A University Hannover scientist has developed a new imaging method to measure the tiniest details of electron dynamics in atoms. An international team led by researchers from the Cluster of Excellence PhoenixD at Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) has successfully imaged...

Engineered light waves enable rapid 3D image acquisition

Researchers from the Tohoku University and Osaka University have developed a novel technique that enables rapid 3D image acquisition. One-scan is a technique involving an elongated light spot that resembles a needle, which captures three-dimensional (3D) images of a specimen....
