A study published in Physical Review X solves a fascinating mystery: how an infinite number of zeros can give rise to a very real and measurable physical phenomenon in shaken quantum materials. Research by Lucila Peralta Gavensky and Nathan Goldman (ULB Faculty of Science and Solvay Institutes) The paradox of "shaken" materials Imagine a material subjected to regular, rhythmic impulses - as if constantly shaken by an external force.

Marks a historic milestone for particle physics research: JUNO, the world's largest underground neutrino detector, has officially begun recording its first data. ULB, involved in the project since 2015, is playing a key role in this international collaboration. After ten years of design and construction in the mountains of China's Jiangmen province, JUNO (Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory ) is now ready to scrutinize neutrinos - those invisible, almost massless particles that pass through matter without leaving a trace..

An international team of researchers from the University of Luxembourg, Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin), the Berlin Institute for the Foundations of Learning and Data (BIFOLD), and Google DeepMind has developed a new machine learning model capable of simulating a wide variety of molecular systems - for example, large and complex biological molecules - with quantum-mechanical accuracy.
