Quarks and gluons: The JADE experiment at DESY
A new paper in The European Physical Journal H (EPJ H) describes the JADE experiment at DESY in Hamburg, in which high-energy electron-positron collisions led to the discovery of the particle that holds quarks together to form protons and neutrons: t.....»»
Prototype for DUNE detector will test new technology that can handle more neutrinos
Long before the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment takes its first measurements in an effort to expand our understanding of the universe, a prototype for one of the experiment's detectors is blazing new trails in neutrino detection technology......»»
NASA"s 6-pack of mini-satellites ready for their moment in the sun
Most NASA missions feature one spacecraft or, occasionally, a few. The agency's Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment (SunRISE) uses half a dozen. This month, mission members completed the construction of the six identical cereal box-size satelli.....»»

Reprogramming tissue mechanically to promote wound healing
Researchers at PSI and ETH Zurich have taken connective tissue cells that have been mechanically reprogrammed to resemble stem cells and transplanted them into damaged skin. In their laboratory experiment, they were able to show that this can promote.....»»
Mussel beach: Belgium"s recipe to fight erosion
Belgian mussels have long satisfied hungry diners, but an experiment is now underway to see if they can also protect Belgium's North Sea coast......»»
From underground detectors to cosmic secrets: Exploring dark matter-nucleon interactions
In a new study, scientists report results from the PandaX-4T experiment, setting stringent limits on dark matter–nucleon interactions using low-energy data and the Migdal effect, ruling out significant parameter space for a thermal relic dark-matte.....»»
Telescope Array detects second-highest-energy cosmic ray ever
In 1991, the University of Utah Fly's Eye experiment detected the highest-energy cosmic ray ever observed. Later dubbed the Oh-My-God particle, the cosmic ray's energy shocked astrophysicists. Nothing in our galaxy had the power to produce it, and th.....»»
A City on Mars: Reality kills space settlement dreams
Let’s not send a few thousand people to Mars as a big experiment in survival. Enlarge (credit: Penguin Random House) Let me start with the TLDR for A City on Mars. It is, essentially, 400 pages of "well, actually…,".....»»
NASA"s Deep Space Optical Comm demo sends, receives first data
DSOC, an experiment that could transform how spacecraft communicate, has achieved "first light," sending data via laser to and from far beyond the moon for the first time......»»
Google experiments allowing users to leave notes about websites in search results
Google has announced an experiment with search results in which it will allow users to leave notes or read notes about a particular website. The post Google experiments allowing users to leave notes about websites in search results appeared first on.....»»
Atmospheric Waves Experiment launches to space station
At 8:28 p.m. EST on Nov. 9, 2023, NASA's Atmospheric Waves Experiment, or AWE, lifted off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on the 29th commercial resupply mission (CRS-29) for NASA......»»
Tiny Big Bang: ALICE experiment restarts with lead ions
On September 26, 2023, the accelerator team at the CERN European Council for Nuclear Research in Geneva declared stable lead-beam conditions, ushering in the first data-taking campaign of lead-ion collisions in five years. From then until the late ev.....»»
Does Gmail want to be instant messaging? New UI experiment says “yes”
The "Quick Reply" bar is basically an instant messaging interface. Gmail's reply bar. A very strange interface for email. [credit:.....»»
Researchers hunt for hard-to-spot genetic links to improve crop and livestock breeding
When a hurricane-like derecho knocked down corn plants across Iowa in August 2020, it was devastating for farmers. But it also presented a natural experiment for an Iowa State University research team, which fanned out across flattened fields in the.....»»
Image: Earth through a 2-mm lens
A distant, partly shadowed Earth, as viewed from a 6,000-km-altitude orbit. This unusual image was acquired using an extremely miniaturized camera about the size of the edge of a 20 cent coin—a miniscule technology experiment aboard ESA's shoebox-s.....»»
Muon g-2 experiment measures the positive muon anomalous magnetic moment to 0.20 ppm
The Muon g-2 Collaboration is a large group of researchers at different institutes worldwide collaborating on the Muon g-2 experiment. This is a research effort aimed at exploring the interactions of muons, short-lived particles that are essentially.....»»
SETI works best when telescopes double-check each other
The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has evolved considerably in the past 60 years since the first experiment was conducted. This was Project Ozma, which was conducted in 1960 by Dr. Frank Drake and his colleagues using the National Ra.....»»
Good news for clumsy divers: Physics holds the key to less-painful belly-flops
Insights could help improve future designs of naval ships, seaplanes, or projectiles. Brown researchers set up a belly flop-like water experiment using a blunt cylinder, adding an important vibrating twist to it that ul.....»»
