KATRIN Narrows Down the Range of Neutrinos’ Mass
[ad_1] The Science Scientists have known about the existence of neutrinos – tiny fundamental particles that almost never interact with matter – for 95 years. Nobel Prize-winning work in 1998 showed that their mass is not zero. However, neutrinos’ exact mass is still unknown. The international KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment uses the process by which a […]
Eta Factory Ratchets Up Efforts to Catch Light from Dark Matter
[ad_1] Newswise — When astronomers point their telescopes to the heavens, they tend to look toward the light. They may search for the pin pricks of shining stars, the billowing of cold gas clouds, the faint heat of a star nursery or the rhythmic blaze of a pulsar. These faint signals of light beckon in […]
When Neutron Stars Collide, Neutrinos Change Flavors
[ad_1] The Science Newswise — Neutron stars are among the densest objects in the universe. They are packed so tightly that a spoonful of their matter weighs more than a mountain. When two neutron stars collide, they release huge numbers of tiny particles called neutrinos. Neutrinos are fundamental particles that come in three types, or “flavors.” These […]
Quantum Magnetism: FSU Researchers Demonstrate Spin-Flip Process in Atomic Nucleus Does Not Account for All Magnetic Behavior | Newswise
[ad_1] Newswise — In the air people breathe, the water on the Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the universe. Understanding the structure of the atomic nucleus is crucial for research with implications for astrophysics and in applications such as medical imaging and data storage. […]

Two Argonne scientists receive 2025 DOE Early Career Research Awards
[ad_1] Newswise — Two researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have been named recipients of 2025 Early Career Research Program awards from the DOE Office of Science. David Kaphan and Yong Zhao will each receive $550,000 per year for five years to further their research. This DOE Office of Science program seeks to strengthen […]
Six PNNL Researchers Win DOE Early Career Research Awards | Newswise
[ad_1] Newswise — RICHLAND, Wash.—The Department of Energy granted early career awards to six researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory—a record number of recipients for PNNL in a single year. The prestigious award is designated for outstanding scientists early in their research careers. It delivers generous support—$2,750,000 for each of the 2025 recipients over a period […]
Feeling the Vibe
[ad_1] Newswise — It started with a social media post from Andrej Karpathy, one of the founders of OpenAI. Last year, he tweeted, “There’s a new kind of coding I call ‘vibe coding,’ where you fully give into the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.” Karpathy said that large language models and voice-to-text […]
A Smashing Success: Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider Wraps up Final Collisions
[ad_1] Newswise — UPTON, N.Y. — Just after 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, final beams of oxygen ions — oxygen atoms stripped of their electrons — circulated through the twin 2.4-mile-circumference rings of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and crashed into one another at nearly the speed of light inside the collider’s two […]
