Bloch oscillations are periodic oscillations of quantum particles in a repeating energy "landscape" (e.g., a crystal lattice) ...

Neutrino physics remains a pivotal area in the quest to unravel fundamental aspects of particle behaviour and the evolution of the universe. Neutrinos—elusive, nearly massless particles—are known to ...

Modern nuclear theory predicts that nucleons appear less “squishy” when probed with neutrinos than was previously inferred from experimental data Scientists use the nuclear theory method called ...

Quantum gravity is the missing link between general relativity and quantum mechanics, the yet-to-be-discovered key to a unified theory capable of explaining both the infinitely large and the ...

The Big Bang created equal amounts of matter and antimatter. So, why is there so much more matter than antimatter in the Universe? Irfu is participating in the preparation of Hyper-Kamiokande, ...

The study showed that different theoretical models significantly affect the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of black holes and provide various mechanisms for generating QPOs. In one model, the ...

Researchers have discovered quantum oscillations of electrical resistivity in an insulator for the first time. The new discovery, made in the mixed valence Kondo insulator ytterbium dodecaboride, is ...

Physicists have developed a novel type of detector that enables the oscillation profile of light waves to be precisely determined. Physicists in the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics at ...
