Research lab
Public research university in Amsterdam, Netherlands, with broad research spanning physics, biology, humanities, and social sciences.
University of Innsbruck physicists made Bethe strings, predicted by Hans Bethe in 1931, from cesium atoms in thousands of one-dimensional tubes. Because the atoms' attraction is tunable, physicists now have a controllable gas for studying bound states of many particles.

IRAS 18293-0941 is the first microblazar found in our own galaxy. The authors say the spot where its jet strikes a molecular cloud accelerates particles to petaelectronvolt energies, matching a gamma-ray signal there.

A dice game, a fraud vignette, an illegally parked car and 97,628 Reddit disputes all sent blame toward the party with more power, and participants said the powerful suspect seemed like someone who could get away with anything.

A single trapped calcium ion has confirmed a years-old prediction that the strongest coupling point of a tightly focused laser sits off the beam axis, and the size of the displacement tracks wavelength alone.

Gábor Háden and Henkjan Honing read twenty years of studies on how a sense of beat develops and evolved, and they report that newborns already have the capacity in rough form while the field's stronger claims go beyond the evidence.

GPS and DNA on 12 whole Bewick's swan families found that 10 of 24 juveniles lost their parents in winter, left a month late, and survived at 40 percent against 86 percent.
