How a Fading Charge Stayed Free in a One-Dimensional World
A 50-year-old puzzle in a one-dimensional quantum world reveals why a charge can fade toward zero without triggering confinement.
The Top Quark Dies So Fast Its Spin Becomes a Quantum Clue
A top quark's fleeting lifetime preserves spin clues, letting collider physicists use quantum-information tools to detect entanglement.
A Spin Vortex Emerged When Physicists Re-read Old LHC Data
A quantum-tomography reanalysis of archived LHC collisions uncovers a swirling Z-boson spin pattern and a near-unpolarized state, with no known cause.
Could Earth’s Axion Detectors Become a Telescope for Dark Matter?
A proposed network of axion detectors could use signal timing and coherence to map the hidden motion of dark matter near Earth.
