Neutron stars could be the gateway to dark matter
Could neutron stars hold the key to observing dark matter? Researchers believe studying them might one day reveal this elusive substance.
Beijing Collider helps scientists probe discrepancy around an elusive hadron particle
New insights into the decay of a hadron particle known as a charmonium could potentially reshape our understanding of particle interactions and challenge existing theories.
Diamond helps build efficient 3D computer chips
Tackling heat transfer, diamond layers help build 3D circuits with lower power consumption, faster signaling, and increased performance.
The next big thing in tech could come from these tiny light absorbers
When the light absorbers are made very small, almost all the device performance metrics improve—but doing this is easier said than done.
New computer solves complex problems by physically mirroring the systems it’s trying to solve
An Ising machine built on lattice defects solves problems faster than conventional computers without the drawbacks of quantum systems.
Dark matter could be lurking in Jupiter’s atmosphere
Astronomers propose that an infrared glow observed in Jupiter’s atmosphere may be dark matter particles colliding.
Flaws in a crystal lattice make stable qubits for quantum computers
This is just the beginning, say scientists working on the new technology.
