When copper becomes transparent: European XFEL creates exotic matter
Experiments at European XFEL generate states of matter that are close to what occurs in the interior of planets or in the imploding capsule of an inertial fusion reactor. At the same time, they open up a way to measure ultra-short phenomena......»»
Dark matter seen through forest: Study examines matter distribution and supports unknown influence or new particle
The dense peaks in the wavelength distribution graph observed in a Lyman-Alpha forest indeed resemble many small trees. Each of those peaks represents a sudden drop in "light" at a specific and narrow wavelength, effectively mapping the matter that l.....»»
Discovery sheds light on the origins of matter in the early universe
The early universe was 250,000 times hotter than the core of our sun. That's far too hot to form the protons and neutrons that make up everyday matter. Scientists recreate the conditions of the early universe in particle accelerators by smashing atom.....»»
