"Herbal" Cigarettes May Be More Toxic Than You Think, New Study Explains How
Scientists have found that herbal cigarettes may release harmful substances at levels similar to, or even higher than, conventional tobacco cigarettes.

Most Powerful Neutrino Ever Detected May Have Come From a Blazar
A 220 PeV neutrino detected beneath the Mediterranean Sea may have originated from a distant blazar. Simulations suggest these powerful black hole systems can generate ultra-high-energy ghost particles.

Ultra-High-Energy Neutrino Detected Beneath Mediterranean Sea Baffles Scientists
Scientists suggest an ultra-high-energy neutrino detected by KM3NeT detector may come from a primordial black hole explosion, hinting at new physics involving dark charge and the early universe.

New Data From COSINE-100, ANAIS-112 Disputes DAMA Dark Matter Results
New results from COSINE-100 and ANAIS-112 show no signal matching the DAMA experiment claim, weakening evidence for dark matter detection and shifting focus toward new search strategies.

Toxic Airborne Pollutants From Bombing In Iran Pose Serious Health Risks
People in war zones, where they are already under stress, can reduce their health risks by staying indoors in the days after military attacks, if possible. Keeping windows and doors closed can help reduce the amount of polluted ambient air

CERN Experiments Confirm Early Universe Behaved Like a Near-Perfect Fluid
Physicists at CERN have directly observed fluid-like behaviour in the quark–gluon plasma that filled the early universe. Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider revealed wake-shaped ripples forming behind fast-moving quarks, similar to bow waves in liquids. These quark wakes confirm that the primordial “soup” of quarks and gluons behaved as ...

Physicists Deploy Quantum Sensors to Hunt the Universe’s Missing Matter
Dark matter makes up most of the universe’s mass, yet it has never been directly detected. Scientists are now deploying ultracold quantum sensors, underground detectors and space telescopes to catch its faint signals. At Texas A&M, new silicon detectors aim to register extremely rare particle interactions, while global experiments push sensitivit...

Quantum Haloscope Sharpens the Search for Dark Matter Axions at Higher Frequencies
Scientists using a quantum-powered haloscope have advanced the search for dark matter axions by probing higher mass ranges than before. The QUAX collaboration’s experiment, based in Italy, uses a microwave cavity and a strong magnetic field to detect faint axion signals. While no axions were found, the results help refine future dark matter searc...

Fusion Reactors Could Generate Axions, Offering a New Path to Detect Dark Matter
Fusion energy may have an unexpected cosmic role beyond clean power. A new study suggests fusion reactors could produce axions, hypothetical dark matter particles, when high-energy neutrons from fusion reactions strike reactor walls. These interactions may generate axions that escape shielding undetected. Scientists propose future fusion plants cou...

ISS Microgravity Experiment Reveal How Particles Behave Without Gravity
A microgravity experiment aboard the International Space Station is helping scientists understand how particles move and cluster without gravity. Conducted inside the station’s laboratory, the study could improve space safety, support future Moon and Mars missions, and deepen understanding of Earth-based processes such as pollution, pollen spread...

This Strange New Crystal Could Power the Next Leap in Quantum Computing
The platinum-bismuth-two crystal exhibits superconductivity only on its surfaces, with a unique six-fold electron pairing pattern. Its edges host Majorana particles, offering potential for topological quantum computing. PtBi₂ provides a rare and clear example of a topological superconductor, opening new avenues in both fundamental physics and fut...
