Odderon Particles: The Most Non-Particle Particles

Physicists detect the not-really-a-particle particle. An odderon is a particle that's even odder than its name suggests. It's a particle that isn't really a particle at all, confused yet? What we think of as particles are usually very stable: electrons, protons, quarks, neutrinos and so on.

Skyrmions: the new face of computer data storage

Scientists developed skyrmionics A group of scientists developed skyrmions which are the next generation of data storage and processing devices. Skyrmions are nanometer-sized vortex-like structures in magnetic fields that on the surface of the magnet.

Researchers are Putting Einstein to the Test

Einstein’s LPI principle is tested on a black hole. Einstein is a renowned physicist best known for his theory of relativity and E-MC2, but even though his reputation largely precedes him, some researchers have taken up the task of testing his theories.

Thirst: How the Body Regulates It

A study shows that the stomach may have cells determining our level of thirst. Ever notice how an ice-cold glass of water can be the most delicious and refreshing option at times, while other times it feels as if your body is just saying no? A new study conducted in mice suggests that a mysterious element in the stomach may play a role by predicting how much you need to drink to satisfy the body.

Echolocation: Tapping into Our Animalistic Senses

Can humans use hidden senses such as echolocation? Everyone knows that bats are blind. Most of us are familiar with the echolocation sense in which bats use to navigate through their surroundings and locate food.

Twisted Graphene is Science’s Hottest New Topic

Atom-sized superconductors discovered with a simple angle adjustment. Just a year ago, scientists presented results that seemed almost too good to be true: Carbon sheets only a single atom thick, called graphene, took on a pair of important physical properties when they were twisted at just the right "magic" angle relative to one another.

Physicists Are Now Listening to the Quantum Vacuum

With the use of lasers and mirrors, physicists can hear 'nothingness'. The Louisiana State University Department of Physics & Astronomy associate professor Thomas Corbitt and his team of researchers now present the first broadband, off-resonance measurement of quantum radiation pressure noise in the audio band, at frequencies relevant to gravitational wave detectors.

Listening to the quantum vacuum

Since the historic finding of gravitational waves from two black holes colliding over a billion light years away was made in 2015, physicists are advancing knowledge about the limits on the precision of the measurements that will help improve the next generation of tools and technology used by gravitational wave scientists.
