New insights into neutrino interactions
Research at Hokkaido University has revealed that elusive particles called neutrinos can interact with photons, the fundamental particles of light and other electromagnetic radiation, in ways not previously detected. The findings from Kenzo Ishikawa,.....»»
What flavor is that neutrino? Adding flavor helps to track neutrino movement in astrophysical systems
Neutrinos have a quantum mechanical property called "flavor." This flavor can transform as neutrinos move through space. A major challenge is to keep track of both the physical movement of the neutrinos and their change of flavor in astrophysical sys.....»»

New shapes of photons open doors to advanced optical technologies
Researchers from the University of Twente in the Netherlands have gained important insights into photons, the elementary particles that make up light. They 'behave' in an amazingly greater variety than electrons surrounding atoms, while also being mu.....»»
Novel protein involved in mitochondrial gene expression identified
Researchers at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics at Karolinska Institutet have characterized a novel GTPase involved in ribosome production in mitochondria. The study, published in Nature Communications, provides new insights into.....»»
Ab initio methods help scientists make sense of complex particle collisions
When atomic nuclei and subatomic particles interact, the results are incredibly complex. These are the "many body problems" of quantum mechanics. To help make sense of these interactions, scientists create ways to simplify the range of possible outco.....»»

Historic iceberg surges offer insights on modern climate change
A great armada entered the North Atlantic, launched from the cold shores of North America. But rather than ships off to war, this force was a fleet of icebergs, and the havoc it wrought was on the ocean current itself......»»
Study indicates that as racial diversity and income rise, civilian injuries by police fall
An analysis of civilian injuries resulting from interactions with police in Illinois found that residents of all races and ethnicities are more likely to sustain injuries if they live in economically under-resourced areas. The risk of injury decrease.....»»
