Artificial intelligence has begun to tackle a task once thought to be uniquely human: designing scientific experiments. And not just any experiments. Researchers at University College London have used ...
Buried deep below the American Midwest, a new kind of observatory is taking shape that aims to watch some of the most elusive particles in the universe as they stream straight through Earth. The Deep ...
Researchers at Tampere University and their collaborators from Germany and India have experimentally confirmed that angular momentum is conserved when a single photon is converted into a ...
