    University of Iowa researcher wins funding to study solar wind plasma wavesโ–ผUI researcher earns funding to improve detection of plasma waves in the solar windโœ‰newsSciencePhysics5 h ago

    A University of Iowa researcher has received new funding to improve how plasma waves in the solar wind are detected. The work aims to sharpen scientific understanding of space weather and the behaviour of charged particles streaming from the sun. Details of the funding amount and the researcher's name were not specified in the coverage, but the grant is being highlighted by the university's news outlet.

    Scientists Hunt Dark Matter a Mile Underground in South Dakotaโ—๐ŸŒŒ ICYMI: About 85% of all matter across the # universe remains undetected by standard scientific instruments. OperatingMmastodonScience36 min ago

    Roughly 85% of all matter in the universe is dark matter, invisible to standard scientific instruments. UCLA astrophysicist Alvine Kamaha and the LUX-ZEPLIN collaboration are searching for it using a detector operating nearly a mile (1.6 km) underground in South Dakota, where rock shielding blocks cosmic rays so rare particle interactions from dark matter can be tracked.

    X-ray microscopy reveals flow behaviour in nanoparticle suspensionsโ–ผMultiscale transitional flow in anisotropic nanoparticle suspensions revealed by time-resolved X-ray scatter microscopyโœ‰newsSciencePhysics6 min ago

    Researchers report the use of time-resolved X-ray scatter microscopy to observe multiscale transitional flow in anisotropic nanoparticle suspensions. The technique makes it possible to track how these particle-laden fluids behave across different length and time scales as they shift between flow regimes. The study, published in Nature, offers new experimental insight into the dynamics of complex suspensions, a topic of interest in soft matter physics and materials science.

    High School Students Job Shadow at CERNโ—High School Job Shadowing at CERNโœ‰newsSciencePhysics6 min ago

    CERN, through its ATLAS Experiment, is hosting high school job shadowing, giving students a first-hand look at careers in particle physics and at one of the world's leading research laboratories. The programme lets teenagers follow professionals on site and see how large-scale physics research works day to day.

    Professor Tara Shears to host public evening on antimatterโ—An evening with Professor Tara Shears OBE exploring the mysteries of antimatterโœ‰newsSciencePhysics4 h ago

    The University of Liverpool is hosting an evening event with Professor Tara Shears OBE exploring the mysteries of antimatter. The particle physicist, known for her work on the LHCb experiment at CERN, will discuss what antimatter is, why it remains one of physics' biggest puzzles, and why the universe appears to be made almost entirely of matter despite theory suggesting equal amounts of both should have formed after the Big Bang.

    Dark Matter May Behave Like Waves, Quasar Could Prove Itโ—Dark Matter May Behave Like Waves and a Distant Quasar Could Prove Itโœ‰newsSciencePhysics4 h ago

    A new study suggests dark matter may behave like waves rather than particles, and astronomers propose that observations of a distant quasar could provide the evidence needed to test the idea. The research offers a possible way to distinguish between competing dark matter models, and physicists are watching to see whether quasar observations can confirm or rule out the wave-like scenario.
