Physicists have shone a light, so to speak, on a key missing value for neutrino mass. The highly magnetic element holmium was ...

The resting mass of ghostly neutrinos is one of the most sought-after quantities in particle physics that scientists are one ...

By precisely measuring the mass of neutrinos — ghostly particles that stream through your body by the billions each second — physicists could find some glaring holes in the Standard Model of particle ...

The discovery and ongoing research into neutrinos have significantly altered the foundational concepts of particle physics, ...

Despite having little else to shout about - bar a silvery sheen and a bit part in controlling nuclear reactions - holmium has some pretty fascinating magnetic properties. In fact, it has the strongest ...

Their findings are published in Nature Physics. Using a Penning trap, it has measured the change in mass of a holmium-163 isotope with extreme precision when its nucleus captures an electron and ...

Researchers in the US and Canada have detected an effect known as quantum Barkhausen noise for the first time. The effect, ...

"The complementary path is the electron capture of the artificial isotope holmium-163," continues Schweiger. Here, the atomic nucleus captures an electron from the inner electron shell, whereby a ...

This co-tunneling effect was a surprise." For their experiments, members of the team used a pink crystalline material called ...

Historically, Humphreys says patients would undergo a transurethral resection of the prostate, called a TURP, but ...
