The first observation of neutrinos at CERN"s Large Hadron Collider
Neutrinos are tiny and neutrally charged particles accounted for by the Standard Model of particle physics. While they are estimated to be some of the most abundant particles in the universe, observing them has so far proved to be highly challenging,.....»»
Hard-of-hearing music fans prefer a different sound
Millions of people around the world experience some form of hearing loss, resulting in negative impacts to their health and quality of life. Treatments exist in the form of hearing aids and cochlear implants, but these assistive devices cannot replac.....»»
Study identifies best ways of helping teachers adopt supports for students with autism
Most teachers will work with students with autism in their careers, often not in a separate special education setting. Evidence-based practices exist to help those educators assist students with accessing content and developing skills. A new study fr.....»»
Using supernovae to study neutrinos" strange properties
In a new study, researchers have taken an important step toward understanding how exploding stars can help reveal how neutrinos, mysterious subatomic particles, secretly interact with themselves......»»
Setapp plans to launch EU-only alternative iOS App Store
Setapp is planning to launch its own alternative App Store in the EU in 2024, taking advantage of law changes that will allow third-party digital storefronts to exist on iPhone and iPad.Apple has reportedly been preparing itself for the impact of the.....»»
Theoretical and experimental physics team up in the search for particle flavor change
An important recent discovery in physics came from measuring neutrinos—neutral, weakly interacting particles—produced by the sun. Nuclear reactions in the sun produce only electron neutrinos. According to the standard model, neutrinos come in thr.....»»
tvOS 17 beta 5 references iPhone models that don"t exist
A code sleuth has uncovered iPhone model identifiers in tvOS 17 for two devices that don't exist and likely don't belong to iPhone 15 models.An unknown iPhone appearsApple has many serialization systems, internal naming schemes, and codes to identify.....»»
Ancient DNA reveals an early African origin of cattle in the Americas
Cattle may seem like uniquely American animals, steeped in the lore of cowboys, cattle drives and sprawling ranches. But cattle didn't exist on the American continents prior to the arrival of the Spanish, who brought livestock with them from Europe b.....»»
Single-particle photoacoustic vibrational spectroscopy using optical microresonators
Pythagoras first discovered that the vibrations of strings are drastically enhanced at certain frequencies. This discovery forms the basis of our tone system. Such natural vibrations ubiquitously exist in objects regardless of their size scales and a.....»»
Meta AI personas might be the most important ChatGPT rival yet, and you should be worried
ChatGPT continues to be the main generative AI product, even though alternatives exist. Google has Bard, and it’s experimenting with an AI search engine as … The post Meta AI personas might be the most important ChatGPT rival yet, and you.....»»
Spain worries over "lifeless land" amid creeping desertification
Ongoing droughts and an over-exploitation of land for both agriculture and industry have stoked fears in Spain over the creeping spread of "sterile soil" which could devastate Europe's kitchen garden......»»
When electrons slowly vanish during cooling: Researchers observe an effect unique to the quantum world
Many substances change their properties when they are cooled below a certain critical temperature. Such a phase transition occurs, for example, when water freezes. However, in certain metals there are phase transitions that do not exist in the macroc.....»»
Looking for sterile neutrinos in the CMS muon system
The CMS collaboration has recently presented new results in searches for long-lived heavy neutral leptons (HNLs). Also known as "sterile neutrinos", HNLs are interesting hypothetical particles that could solve three major puzzles in particle physics:.....»»
Designing detectors for DUNE
The most abundant, massive particles in the universe may be ones you've never even heard of: neutrinos. These particles are all around us—even streaming through us—though they almost never interact with other particles. They are so light and weak.....»»
Human exceptionalism hinders environmental action, scientists find
What is nature? When Northeastern University researchers asked a sample of undergraduate students this question last spring, many of their responses included "the outdoors," "flora and fauna that exist without human interference" or "natural environm.....»»
