Collaborators of the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR, an experiment led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, have shown they can shield a sensitive, scalable 44-kilogram germanium detector array from background radioactivity

Theoretical description supported by mathematical calculations provides a roadmap that could lead to discovery of a 'chiral spin liquid'

Advance could eventually spawn new states of matter

Recent results could inform ongoing efforts to detect dark matter directly, especially if researchers have a clear idea of what sorts of properties they should be seekin

The team's findings should help inform future experiments involving high-intensity lasers

Scientists use the high-energy beams, which must be stable and intense to work effectively, to unlock the ultimate structure of matter

Landmark anniversary of Canadian innovation at TRIUMF reflects on past decades of discovery and looks to future

SLAC study shows “pseudogap” phase hoards electrons that might otherwise conduct electricity with 100 percent efficiency.

The seemingly simple process of phase changes—those transitions between states of matter—is more complex than previously known, according to research based at Princeton University, Peking University and New York University.

Kansas State University physicists and computer scientists are involved in a collaborative project to understand a long-lasting mystery: how light interacts with matter.
