sPHENIX Detector Clears Test to Study Quark-Gluon Plasma Which Formed After the Big Bang, Claims Study
Scientists at Brookhaven’s RHIC have calibrated the sPHENIX detector, confirming it can track particle collisions with high precision. Now ready for full operations, sPHENIX will study quark-gluon plasma—the fleeting primordial matter from the Big Bang. By analyzing its “ashes,” physicists aim to reconstruct how the universe looked in its e...

Physicists Achieve Record-Breaking Electron Beam Power and Current at SLAC
Researchers at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have set a new record by generating the highest-current, highest-peak-power electron beam ever recorded. The beam reached 100 kiloamps in just one quadrillionth of a second, achieved through advanced compression techniques and magnetic field manipulation. This breakthrough could have major implica...

Researchers Study Dark Matter Conversion Signals in Earth's Ionosphere
A study explored the potential of Earth's ionosphere as a medium to detect dark matter particles, specifically axions and dark photons. Researchers propose that these particles could convert into low-frequency radio waves within the ionosphere's plasma, creating detectable signals. By utilizing small, cost-effective dipole antennas, scientists aim ...

Crab Nebula’s Strange Zebra Pattern Pulsars Could Be Due to Its Unusual Plasma Density
The Crab Nebula, home to the Crab Pulsar, has long fascinated astronomers due to its unique zebra-like radiation pattern. This strange emission, which has puzzled researchers since its discovery in 2007, is now explained by new research. A team led by Mikhail Medvedev, a physicist at the University of Kansas, uncovered that the unusual pattern is c...

Satellite Internet Boom Could Disrupt Earth's Magnetic Field, Warns Physicist
The problem is that space, contrary to popular belief, isn't really a giant, self-cleaning void.
