Expanding the Hunt for Hidden Dark Matter Particles

Theoretical models of dark matter predict that its signals can be detected using low-background radiation detectors. By looking for specific types of dark matter and finding no signal, scientists operating the Majorana Demonstrator experiment have...

The KDK Collaboration Identifies Rare Nuclear Decay in Long-Lived Potassium Isotope

Potassium-40 usually decays to calcium-40, but about 10 percent of the time it decays to argon-40 through electron capture. One variant of this decay path ends in argon-40 in its ground state.

What If Metals Could Conduct Light?

Conventional metals cannot conduct light in their interiors, but scientists have discovered that in the quantum metal ZrSiSe, electrons can give rise to plasmons.

New Theoretical Contribution Helps Examine the Internal Rotation of the Proton

The quark Sivers function describes much of the physics of how quarks are distributed in a proton whose rotation is perpendicular to its direction of motion. This function shows whether more quarks in the proton move to the right than to the left of...

Scientists Directly Measure a Key Reaction in Neutron Star Binaries

X-ray bursts occur on the surface of a neutron star as it absorbs material from a companion star. This absorption initiates a cascade of thermonuclear reactions that create atoms of heavy chemical elements on the surface of a neutron star....

Researchers Build an Atomic-Level Model of Oxidization on the Surface of Tantalum Film

Tantalum superconducting material shows great promise for making qubits. When an oxide layer forms on the surface of tantalum, it can lead to quantum decoherence. In this study, researchers used scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and...
