Scientists from the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences analyzed the validity of the relativity theory with the highest possible accuracy in a study entitled "Exploring Lorentz Invariance Violation from Ultrahigh-Energy γRays Observed by LHAASO," which was published in the most recent issue of Physical Review Letters.According to Einstein's...
Information about a quantum state is split into three information contents (i.e., information gain, disturbance, and reversibility). Credit: Hong et al.Scientists at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have attempted to capture the interaction between different kinds of information that are essential while gathering quantum measurements, specifically information gain, disturbance, and reversibility. Their paper, released...
To study superconducting materials in their “normal,” non-superconducting state, scientists usually switch off superconductivity by exposing the material to a magnetic field (left). SLAC scientists discovered that turning off superconductivity with a flash of light (right), produces a normal state with very similar fundamental physics that is also unstable and demonstrates brief flashes of...
University of Chicago researchers discovered how to create and manipulate a quantum phenomenon known as a “domain wall” – shown in this image as the lighter line between two groups of atoms.

Credit: Brian KoberleinThe nature of dark matter stills astonishes astronomers. As the search for dark matter particles keeps on turning up nothing, it is tempting to throw away the dark matter model altogether, but indirect evidence for the stuff remains to be strong. So what is it? One team has an idea, and they...
Physicists have found evidence of rare X particles in the quark-gluon plasma produced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The findings could redefine the kinds of particles that were abundant in the early universe. Credit: CERNIn the initial millionths of a second after the Big Bang, our universe was an agitated pull...
A quark gluon plasma after the collision of two heavy nuclei. Credit: TU WienCan machine learning be used to reveal the secrets of the quark-gluon plasma?Yes, it can. However, only with advanced new methods.It can hardly be more complicated. Little particles whir around wildly with extremely high energy, many interactions happen in the...
Density distribution of neutrinos (left) and dark matter (right) in the cosmic large-scale structure. While the neutrinos move fast and look diffuse, dark matter distribution composes cosmic webs such as filamentary structure.In an international initially, an investigation team led by Kavli IPMU Principal Investigator Naoki Yoshida successfully conducted a 6-dimensional simulation of neutrinos travelling...
The symmetry in dynamic development found in many natural events aid scientists in their comprehension of a system's fundamental mechanism. These symmetries, nevertheless, are not always obtained in quantum physics. For the first a period of time physicists from Heidelberg College's Center for Quantum Dynamics demonstrated the theoretically predicted divergence from traditional symmetry in...
The projections of a study from 2020 that computationally evaluated the influence of melting on shock-driven metal microjets were experimentally corroborated by scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). According to a previous investigation, melting the foundation material did not always result in an important rise in jet mass.The LLNL, led by David Bober,...
