New Simulations Precisely Follow the Dynamics of Cosmic Relic Neutrinos

Current simulations of cosmic structure formation do not accurately reproduce the properties of ghost-like particles called neutrinos that have been present in the Universe since its beginning. But now, a research team from Japan has devised an approach that solves this problem.

Measurements of Quantum Particles Yield Precise Outcomes in the Everyday World

There is a huge variation between the quantum realm and the regular world. Physicists Jasper van Wezel and Lotte Mertens from the University of Amsterdam and their collaborators have now analyzed how the act of quantifying a quantum particle converts it into an everyday object.
