Hints of a 'neutrino fog' could complicate efforts to detect dark matter
As if searching for dark matter isn't difficult enough already, physicists may have detected another hurdle known as a "neutrino fog" from solar neutrinos streaming through Earth.
Lattice QCD method suggests a simpler spectrum of exotic XYZ hadrons
An elusive particle that first formed in the hot, dense maelstrom of the early universe has puzzled physicists for decades. Following its surprise discovery in 2003, scientists began observing a slew of other strange objects ...

Fluids thicken at the speed of light: A new theory extends Einstein's relativity to real fluids
The theory of special relativity is rife with counterintuitive and surprising effects, the most famous of which are length contraction and time dilation. If an object travels at a relative speed, which is a non-negligible ...
Can the noble metals become superconductors?
Superconductivity is the phenomenon by which, at sufficiently low temperatures, electric current can flow in a metal with no resistance. While certain metals are excellent superconductors, other metals cannot superconduct ...
Scientists capture images of a new quantum phase in electron molecular crystals
Electrons typically travel at high speeds, zipping through matter unbound. In the 1930s, physicist Eugene Wigner predicted that electrons could be coaxed into stillness at low densities and cold temperatures, forming an electron ...
