Neutrino Mass Mystery Narrows: KATRIN Sets New Benchmark

The KATRIN experiment tightens the upper limit on neutrino mass to 0.45 eV, offering new insights into particle physics and the universe’s evolution

Unveiling the Higgs Mechanism: ATLAS’s Discovery in W Boson Scattering

In a groundbreaking development, the ATLAS experiment at CERN has observed longitudinally polarized W boson scattering—a pivotal clue that deepens our understanding of the Higgs mechanism, the phenomenon that gives particles their mass.

This finding doesn’t just confirm existing theories in the Standard Model of particle physics—it opens a window into new realms of physics that could redefine our understanding of the universe.

Quantum Breakthrough: Impossible Phase Transition Observed

In a stunning twist straight out of quantum science fiction, researchers at Rice University have witnessed something once believed to be physically impossible: a superradiant phase transition (SRPT). This exotic quantum event, theorized more than half a century ago, had never been observed in a real-world, solid-state material—until now.
