ATLAS experiment measures top quark polarization
Unique among its peers is the top quark—a fascinating particle that the scientific community has been studying in detail since the 90s. Its large mass makes it the only quark to decay before forming bound states (a process known as hadronisation) a.....»»
Apex predators not a quick fix for restoring ecosystems, 20-year study finds
A Colorado State University experiment spanning more than two decades has found that removal of apex predators from an ecosystem can create lasting changes that are not reversed after they return—at least, not for a very long time......»»

A new kink in proton spectrum to enhance our knowledge of cosmic ray origin
The GRAPES-3 experiment in Ooty, India, operated by the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research has discovered a new feature in the cosmic-ray proton spectrum at about 166 tera-electron-volt (TeV) energy while measuring the spectrum spanning from 50 T.....»»
Why are people climate change deniers? Study reveals unexpected results
Do climate change deniers bend the facts to avoid having to modify their environmentally harmful behavior? Researchers from the University of Bonn and the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) ran an online experiment involving 4,000 US adults, and foun.....»»
Apple to let developers request consultation on EU changes coming to the App Store
Apple recently announced a series of measures to comply with the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) antitrust legislation, which includes allowing alternative app stores on the iPhone. To make sure developers understand what’s changing, A.....»»
Physicists develop novel concept for detecting chiral molecules
In contrast to conventional mirrors, light can be reflected on surfaces known as metasurfaces without changing its polarization. This phenomenon has now been proven by physicists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and the Ma.....»»
Paranoid CEOs hide from government, react strongly to competitors, says research
The higher CEOs score on measures of paranoia, the more likely they are to avoid lobbying government, according to new research of 925 CEOs across 774 firms......»»
Political polarization may slow legislation, make higher-stakes laws likelier
The United States House of Representatives held more than 700 votes in 2023, but fewer than 30 bills were signed into law. Partisan politics may explain why, with polarization potentially causing enough friction to slow down the legislative process a.....»»
Ice storms, January downpours, heavy snow, no snow: Diagnosing "warming winter syndrome"
One of the most robust measures of Earth's changing climate is that winter is warming more quickly than other seasons. The cascade of changes it brings, including ice storms and rain in regions that were once reliably below freezing, are symptoms of.....»»

Experiment shows how predator mass mortality events affect food webs
Over the last century, die-offs of animal populations, known as mass mortality events (MMEs), have increased in frequency and magnitude. The scale of these events can be staggering: billions of dead fish, hundreds of thousands of dead mammals and bir.....»»
New research sheds light on a phenomenon known as "false vacuum decay"
An experiment conducted in Italy, with theory support from Newcastle University, has produced the first experimental evidence of vacuum decay......»»
New stem cell research to take flight into space
A Mayo Clinic research experiment will be part of a payload that launches into space from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Jan. 29, subject to weather conditions and other factors. The research team from the lab of Dr. Abba.....»»
Resecurity and Cybercrime Atlas join forces to disrupt cybercriminal operations
In an era where cybercrime poses a pervasive threat to individuals, corporations, and governments worldwide, Resecurity and Cybercrime Atlas have forged a partnership aimed at disrupting the global cybercriminal ecosystem. The Cybercrime Atlas is hos.....»»
New technique uses optical orbital angular momentum lattice to enhance information storage capacity
In the realm of optical holography, the conventional limitations of polarization, wavelength, and incident angle are giving way to a new era of possibilities. A breakthrough technique known as optical orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing has e.....»»
