Ancient Kauri Trees Points to a Turning Point in Earth’s History 42,000 Years Ago
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 shows.
Primordial Black Holes & Search For Dark Matter From Multiverse
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.
New type of coupled electronic-structural waves discovered in magnetite
An international team of scientists uncovered exotic quantum properties hidden in magnetite, the oldest magnetic material known to mankind.
Novel insight reveals topological tangle in unexpected corner of the universe
Scientists find a unique knotted structure -- one that repeats itself throughout nature -- in a ferroelectric nanoparticle, a material with promising applications in microelectronics and computing.
New high-energy-density physics research provides insights about the universe
Atoms and molecules behave very differently at extreme temperatures and pressures. Although such extreme matter doesn't exist naturally on the earth, it exists in abundance in the universe, especially in the deep interiors of planets and stars.
In search of the Z boson
At the Japanese High-energy Accelerator Research Organization, KEK, in Tsukuba, about 50 kilometers north of Tokyo, the Belle II experiment has been in operation for about one year now.
