The SuperCDMS detector buried in a Canadian mine just hit a temperature 1,000 times colder than outer space — sensitive enough to detect dark matter at last
Two kilometers below the surface of Sudbury, Ontario, inside a nickel mine that has been producing ore since the 1880s, a ...
A joint project between RIT and the University of Rochester has developed a new squeezed phonon laser that provides precise control over individual particles of sound or vibration. “Light carries ...
A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings by UC Santa Barbara ...
An international team of researchers has discovered that the quantum particles responsible for the vibrations of materials—which influence their stability and various other properties—can be ...
