Modeling the motion of small particles in turbulent flows is central to a wide range of scientific and engineering problems ranging from cloud formation and pollutant transport to manufacturing and ...

For the past decade, a new kind of telescope has been observing the skies 1. Instead of light, these telescopes detect neutrinos — tiny subatomic particles that are usually associated with radioactive ...

Scientists have discovered semi-Dirac fermions, quasiparticles that behave as massless in one direction and massive in another, inside a crystal of ZrSiS. This discovery, achieved using advanced ...

"Imagine the particle is a tiny train confined to a network of tracks, which are the material's underlying electronic structure," says Shao. "Now, at certain points the tracks intersect, so our ...

The quasiparticle, called a semi-Dirac fermion, was first theorized 16 years ago, but was only recently spotted inside a crystal of semi-metal material called ZrSiS. The observation of the ...

China is building an enormous telescope in the western Pacific Ocean. Its job will be to detect “ghost particles”, also known as neutrinos. The telescope will be the largest of its kind, scientists ...

July 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest discoveries made at CERN, the international particle-physics research centre near Geneva, Switzerland: namely, weak neutral currents. The ...
