Medieval monks wrote over a copy of an ancient star catalog. Now, a particle accelerator is revealing the long-lost original text
A little more than a thousand years ago, monks at Saint Catherine’s Monastery in Egypt’s Sinai desert removed Western ...
Using the synchotron particle accelerator, scientists read the erased ancient text of a Hipparchus astronomical manuscript.
Researchers have demonstrated that a nanoparticle of 7,000 sodium atoms can act as a wave, creating a record-setting ...
If you want to make particles move really fast, you have to build a particle accelerator that is really big, right? Not anymore! Hosted by: Hank Green SciShow has a spinoff podcast! It's called ...
Turning lead into gold famously used to be the goal of ancient alchemists, but their modern counterparts have actually ...
Silicon semiconductors are widely used as particle detectors; however, their long-term operation is constrained by ...
The new research verifies Rajagopal’s account of the QGP, using a neutral, electrically weak particle called the Z boson as a marker to track the movement of quarks in the plasma. Since the Z boson ...
Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-based method to dramatically tame the ...
The month’s sharpest science shots, selected by Nature ’s photo team.
The electrodes are coated with carbon nanotubes. As they flow through the reactor, the reactants interact weakly with the carbon nanotubes, exposing them to the electric field. This induces electronic ...
Using the world's most powerful particle accelerator, CERN's Large Hadron Collider, scientists have discovered that the trillion-degree hot primordial "soup" that filled the cosmos for mere millionths ...
