This Week in Physics — Probing Majorana Neutrinos

This Week in Physics Magazine — January 30, 2023 Viewpoint Probing Majorana Neutrinos Laura Baudis – January 30, 2023 Detecting neutrinoless double-beta decay would confirm that the neutrino is its own antiparticle. Data from the KamLAND-Zen experiment contain no strong evidence of such events, constraining neutrino properties. News Feature The Uneven Spread of Citations January 30, 2023 Minority physicists are significantly undercited compared to their white, male counterparts, which can have serious career consequences. A new tool is allowing researchers to reduce this imbalance. Focus Memories Become Chaotic before They Are Forgotten January 27, 2023 A model for information storage in the brain reveals how memories decay with age. synopsis Quantum Circuit Tackles "Diabolical" Photochemical Process January 26, 2023 A quantum device shows promise for simulating molecular dynamics in a difficult-to-model photochemical process that is relevant to vision. synopsis How Nature's Donuts Get Their Wrinkles January 25, 2023 A new model explains the wrinkling patterns seen in nature's donut-shaped objects, such as those found in jellyfish. synopsis The Unimportance of Accurate Financial Knowledge January 27, 2023 Simulations of the behavior of individual financial traders show that imperfect market knowledge increases risk but not overall losses. synopsis Twinkling of a Shrinking Droplet Reveals Hidden Complexity January 24, 2023 Captivating patterns found in the light scattered by an evaporating water droplet could be used to infer the properties of the droplet as it shrinks. 1 Physics Ellipse, College Park, MD 20740 © 2023 American Physical Society | All rights reserved View Email Online You are receiving this message because you signed up to receive Physics Magazine email alerts or are a member of APS.
