From China to the South Pole: Joining Forces to Solve the Neutrino Mass Puzzle JUNO detector (left), IceCube detector (right), Image/©: JUNO Collaboration/IceCube Collaboration. Research by Mainz physicists indicates that the next generation of neutrino experiments may well find the answer to one of the most pressing issues in neutrino physics Among the most exciting challenges in modern physics is the identification of the neutrino mass ordering. Physicists from the Cluster of Excellence PRISM
Brownian Motion of Dark Matter Scientists have revealed the fine structure and detailed motion of wavelike dark matter. Dark matter comprises approximately 27% of the energy of the Universe and plays an indispensable role in galaxy formation and evolution. However, the nature of dark matter remains obscure; for example, what is its composition, particle mass, and temperature? Wave dark matter is an emerging dark matter candidate composed of ultralight, ~10-22 eV, bosons in the Bose-Einstein con
The Twist Marks the Spot: ESO Telescope Sees Signs of Planetary Birth There are thousands of exoplanets identified so far, but little is known about how they form. Astronomers know that planets are born in dusty disks surrounding young stars, like AB Aurigae, as cold gas and dust clump together. We need to observe very young systems to really capture the moment when planets form. Until recently, astronomers rarely had the ability to take sharp and deep enough images of these young disks to dire
Emerging Simplicity from Complexity: A new Tool for Conduction in Nanostructure Assemblies A discretization approach models nanostructure films in (a) to a complex network of interconnected resistors depicted in (b), whose solution in (c) represents the spatial conductivity of nanostructure assemblies. The last twenty years have seen a revolution of nanomaterials, such as nanotubes, flakes, and buckyballs, that are composed of only a few thousand atoms. To have an impact on our macroscopic worl
