Combination and summary of ATLAS dark matter searches within 2HDM+a framework

In the 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed that the velocities of galaxies in the Coma Cluster were too high to be maintained solely by the gravitational pull of luminous matter. He proposed the existence of some non-luminous matter within the galaxy cluster, which he called dark matter. This discovery marked the beginning of humanity’s […]

Experimental data help unravel the mystery surrounding the creation of heavy elements in stars

How are stars born, and how do they die? How do they produce the energy that keeps them burning for billions of years? How do they create the elements we observe today? Definitive answers to these questions continue to elude scientists in their quest to understand the processes that shape the chemical makeup of the […]

Rotational symmetry breaking in deformed Reuleaux-triangle resonator simplifies exceptional point achievement

The spectral degeneracies emerging as a consequence of parity-time (PT) symmetry exhibit a profound divergence from their conventional counterparts. They possess non-Hermitian nature and are designated as exceptional points (EPs), marking instances where the real and corresponding imaginary portions of specific eigenvalues align perfectly, alongside a coalescence of their associated eigenvectors.

Latent information carried by photons enables super-precise spectrometer

Two researchers at the University of Warsaw developed a quantum-inspired super-resolving spectrometer for short pulses of light. The device designed in the Quantum Optical Devices Lab at the Centre for Quantum Optical Technologies, Centre of New Technologies and Faculty of Physics UW offers over a two-fold improvement in resolution compared to standard approaches. In the […]

12 Of The Most Powerful Ancient Gods Of Mesopotamia
