Dark Matter Detection Just Took a Giant Leap with This Precision Nuclear Clock

Dark Matter Detection Just Took a Giant Leap with This Precision Nuclear Clock

In a groundbreaking study published in Physical Review X, researchers led by Professor Gilad Perez from the Weizmann Institute of Science have proposed a revolutionary method for detecting dark matter using an ultra-sensitive thorium-229 nuclear clock. This innovative approach, based on thorium-229’s unique nuclear properties, offers a promising new frontier in the search for the elusive substance that makes up …

Earth’s Unusual Rapid Spin Could Prompt First-Ever ‘Negative Leap Second’

Earth’s Unusual Rapid Spin Could Prompt First-Ever ‘Negative Leap Second’

The Earth has been spinning unusually fast recently. Last year on July 4, our planet set a record by completing a full spin 1.66 milliseconds (0.00166 seconds) faster than usual, according to timeanddate.com. One year later, on July 10, 2025, Earth completed a daily rotation that scientists estimate was 1.36 milliseconds faster than usual, giving us another particularly short day. …

A quantum leap for antimatter measurements

A quantum leap for antimatter measurements

Demonstration of first antimatter quantum bit paves the way for substantially improved tests of nature’s fundamental symmetries In a breakthrough for antimatter research, the BASE collaboration at CERN has kept an antiproton – the antimatter counterpart of a proton – oscillating smoothly between two different quantum states for almost a minute while trapped. The achievement, reported in a paper published today in the journal Nature, marks the …

Researchers grow 400+ brain cell types—a leap for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s research

Researchers grow 400+ brain cell types—a leap for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s research

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cell in the human brain according to the latest calculations. These cell types vary in their function, in the number and length of their cellular appendages, and in their interconnections. They emit different neurotransmitters into our …
