Molecular sensor makes invisible traces of mercury easier to see

Mercury contamination presents an obvious challenge: it is invisible. A glass of water or a piece of fruit can seem perfectly normal to the naked eye, even when trace amounts of toxic mercury are present. Detecting such minute ...

Self-learning AI separates particle jets from background noise in simulated heavy-ion collisions

A team of physicists and computer scientists led by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) approach that learns on its own to separate ...

Matter–antimatter asymmetry still provides no evidence of new physics

The universe's dominance by ordinary matter is compelling evidence that matter and antimatter are not perfect reflections of each other. However, known differences do not explain the scale of this imbalance, leaving open ...

III-nitride device integrates sensing and memory for in-sensor computing

A new study published in Nature Materials reports that researchers have developed an aluminum gallium nitride device that combines light detection, memory and basic processing by controlling charge at polarization interfaces. ...

AI use is now universal in higher education. Why are universities failing to adapt?

Artificial intelligence use among university students is now near-universal in many countries. Yet, as of a year ago, fewer than one in five universities in a 90-country UNESCO survey had a formal AI policy.

Gravitational waves hint at black holes born from failed supernovae

When the most massive stars in the universe die, they often detonate in fiery supernovae, dramatically blasting most of their matter into space. The remaining stellar cores collapse into neutron stars and, sometimes, black ...

LHC collaboration presents first result in the hunt for 'quirks'

An international collaboration of physicists has presented its first results in its search for hypothetical particles that could help to explain the vast disparity between the strength of gravity and the three fundamental ...
