Majorana Particles in Computation

Posted on July 9, 2012 by PlatoHagel

An artist’s conception of the Majorana – a previously elusive subatomic particle whose existence has never been confirmed – until now. Dutch nano-scientists at the technological universities of Delft and Eindhoven, say they have found evidence of the particle. To … Continue reading →

SuperCDMS An Improvement on Detection

Posted on December 14, 2009 by PlatoHagel

So far no WIMP interaction has been observed, so the sensitivity needs to be improved further. This will be achieved by increasing the total detector mass (and with this the probability that a WIMP interacts in the detector) and at … Continue reading →
