A Pathway to Making Molecular Oxygen That Doesn’t Involve Life
Researchers have quantified a pathway for the formation of molecular oxygen from the interaction of carbon dioxide with electrons, key information for searches of life on other worlds. Read More »
Seven Astrophysical Tau Neutrinos Unmasked
Scientists have found seven astrophysical tau neutrinos—particles that are notoriously difficult to detect—in an analysis of data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica. Read More »
How to Speed up a Quantum Network
Sending photons to a remote site in groups should allow quantum links to be more rapidly established across future quantum networks than if photons are sent one at a time. Read More »
