Independent electron approaches fail to model chirality-induced spin selectivity

Modeling the effects of molecular handedness on electron spin challenges fundamental assumptions in physics, including Onsager reciprocity and time reversal symmetry.

Calorimetric experiment achieves tightest bound on electron neutrino mass

In a Physical Review Letters study, the HOLMES collaboration has achieved the most stringent upper bound on the effective ...

Exploring how dark matter alters electron-capture supernovae and the birth of neutron stars

Electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe) are stellar explosions that occur in stars with initial masses around 8–10 times that of ...
