What is a neutrino anyway? A look at the science behind this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics
If you wanted a Nobel Prize, you would do well to study neutrinos. To date, the Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded five times to research related to neutrino detection and discovery. This year,…
Ultrafast light pulses track molecular motion with three-femtosecond resolution
Researchers have observed a molecule in the first instants after it has absorbed light and tracked the coordinated motion of electrons and nuclei with a temporal resolution of three femtoseconds….
Diamond laser system achieves 100% optical contrast in magnetic-field readout
Researchers at Fraunhofer IAF have developed a laser-enhanced quantum sensor that combines high magnetic-field sensitivity with a large dynamic range. Using laser threshold magnetometry, they…
Scientists trap electron waves in metal using quantum interference
Ever since quantum mechanics first described particles, like electrons, as rippling waves, researchers have wondered if those waves could be trapped in place. Writing today in Science a century…
Schrödinger’s lost manuscript exposes his real thoughts on quantum randomness
Unlike classical physics, quantum mechanics generally cannot tell us exactly what will happen in an individual event. Instead, it predicts the probabilities of different outcomes. As one of the…
How Dense Fluids Spread Through Uneven Underground Rock Layers
arXiv:2604.27827v2 Announce Type: replace
Abstract: We analyze the mixing, migration and spreading of a gravity current in a heterogeneous porous medium using high-fidelity numerical simulations….
Surface Shape Determines How Methane Sticks to Calcium Carbonate Minerals
arXiv:2610.30030v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: Understanding the adsorption of alkanes on mineral surfaces is important for industrial processes such as oil and gas recovery from shale…
Reconsidering Global Comparisons of Scientist Trustworthiness
arXiv:2601.18820v2 Announce Type: replace
Abstract: In a reanalysis of perceived scientist trustworthiness across 68 countries/regions, measurement-aligned indicated limitations in the…
