Using data from high-energy proton-proton collisions in Run 2 of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), physicists with the CMS Collaboration have released its latest search for the production of Higgs boson pairs, known as di-Higgs, and…

Physicists with the ALICE Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have seen the first ever evidence of antihyperhelium-4, which is composed of two antiprotons, an antineutron and an antilambda. The new result also represents the…

Altermagnetism is a distinct form of magnetic order where the tiny constituent magnetic building blocks align antiparallel to their neighbors, but the structure hosting each one is rotated compared to its neighbors. University of…

In an article published in the latest issue of Science, Dr. Stuart Ryder from Macquarie University and Associate Professor Ryan Shannon from Swinburne University of Technology, leading a global team, have unveiled their groundbreaking discovery:…

In the Yangtze Delta, about 160 kilometres southwest of Shanghai, the archeological ruins of Liangzhu City are located. There, a highly advanced culture blossomed about 5,300 years ago, thanks to the engineering of large hydraulic…

During World War II, Nazi Germany and the U.S. were racing to develop nuclear technology. Before Germany could succeed, Allied forces disrupted the program and confiscated some of the cubes of uranium at the heart of it. 

The ultimate fate of…

The temporary breakdown of Earth’s magnetic field 42,000 years ago sparked major climate shifts that led to global environmental change and mass extinctions, a new international study co-led by UNSW Sydney and the South Australian Museum…

The Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) is home to many interdisciplinary projects which benefit from the synergy of a wide range of expertise available at the institute.

One such project is the study of…

Presently, the moon does not have an internal magnetic field as it can be observed on Earth. However, there are localized regions on its surface up to several hundred kilometers in size where a very strong magnetic field prevails.

This has been…
