Searching for Dark Matter Axions Using a Quantum-Enhanced Haloscope

Physics, Quantum Physics /

Axions are theoretical lightweight particles that may address two major puzzles in physics: they could explain why certain nuclear interactions preserve time symmetry and may also make up dark matter. Dark matter itself does not emit, reflect, or absorb light and has yet to be directly detected. Axions are extremely light, hypothetical particles believed to […]

Scientists Confirm Successful Quantum Teleportation Between Photons

Physics, Quantum Physics /

Stuttgart team teleports quantum state between separate photonsThis breakthrough enables quantum information to travel long distances through repeaters made of ‘quantum dots’ without loss or interference. Unlike standard internet signals, which can be amplified along the way, quantum information requires photons that are nearly identical. Quantum dots—special semiconductors that emit light at extremely precise frequencies—can

The World’s Largest Neutrino Detector Begins Operations Deep Underground

Physics, Science /

Neutrinos rank among the most mysterious particles in the standard model, largely because they are so elusive. Although around 400 trillion of them stream through every human body each second, produced mainly by the Sun, they almost never interact with ordinary matter—making them notoriously difficult to study. A Giant Leap in Detection To peel back

Nuclear Waste Could Become a Source of Tritium for Fusion Power

Material & Energy, Nuclear & Particles /

A looming shortage of fuel for nuclear fusion may have an unexpected fix. A physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) suggests that tritium for fusion reactors could be generated using nuclear waste left over from fission plants. If fusion energy becomes practical, it could revolutionize power production, delivering virtually limitless electricity on demand. Yet,
