Borexino consists of a shell of petroleum-based liquid that lights up when a neutrino, a nearly massless neutral particle, knocks an electron loose from one of the liquid’s atoms. The detector ...

Electric (plasma) propulsion devices have been used for applications such as station-keeping and orbit transfer, in place of chemical rockets, because they provide a higher specific impulse. Detailed ...

Cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) allows us to observe samples in a preserved state that is close to their ...

Collective excitations of interacting electrons Thanks to high-frequency shot-noise measurements, which were employed for the first time in this context, Plaçais and colleagues have now found that, at ...
