Mimicking antideuteron production in space at CERN

Caitlin Magee of Innovation News Network speaks to Luciano Musa, senior physicist at CERN, about his latest work mimicking antideuteron production. Deuterium is one of two stable hydrogen isotopes, the nucleus of which, named deuteron, contains one proton and one...

Neutrinos, antineutrinos and fundamental interactions

Professor Roberto Petti from the University of South Carolina discusses current and future neutrino experiments (including a dedicated LBNF beamline at Fermilab) designed to explore fundamental interactions and the structure of nucleons and nuclei with neutrinos and antineutrinos. Neutrinos are...

Open letter calls for more EU research funding

16,000 academics have signed an open letter to the European Union (EU) urging greater consideration for research funding. The academics have called for a withdrawal from current financial proposals for next seven-year multiannual financial framework (MFF), which would be activated...

Investigating emerging pathogens in amphibians and reptiles

Investigating emerging pathogens in amphibians and reptiles at the Centre for Fish and Wildlife Health of the University of Bern in collaboration with info fauna – karch: an example of a successful interdisciplinary collaboration. Among vertebrates, amphibians and reptiles are...

Probing the Universe’s ‘ghost particle’

Yale University’s Professor Karsten Heeger and Temple University’s Professor Jim Napolitano outline the study of neutrino oscillations with Daya Bay and PROSPECT: a collaboration across four continents to probe the ‘ghost particle’ of the Universe. Neutrinos are fascinating elementary particles...

The use of food waste in the development of biomaterials

Innovation News Network's digital editor, Caitlin Magee, explores the role of food waste in the development of biomaterials. 1.3 billion tonnes of food waste enters landfill each year, when food waste begins to decompose it releases methane gas into the...

Searching for mysterious dark matter particles and the mass of neutrinos

Solving the common puzzles of cosmology, dark matter particles, and the mass of neutrinos using sensitive experiments requires continuous technological progress and, in particular, the extreme reduction of background due to residual traces of radioactivity. With the term ‘physical cosmology’,...

New composite material to improve electromagnetic protection

Scientists from South Ural State University, Ural Federal University, and the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus have developed a highly efficient composite material for electromagnetic and mechanical protection. The newly developed composite material is made of a highly elastic...

Research in the field of elementary particle physics

Duke University's Professor Emeritus Alfred Goshaw describes his journey as a physicist in the field of elementary particle physics, from graduate student to CERN’s ATLAS experiment, extolling the virtues of science to go beyond politics to an environment of...

Digital biology: bio-manufactured protein-based products

More data-driven approaches, an integrated Pre-Pilot Plant facility, and a Biofoundry are some of the key drivers in the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability’s vision of developing efficient bio-manufacturing methods for chemical compounds and protein-based products. Over the next...
