Researchers in Finland have measured an energy signal smaller than one zeptojoule using a new calorimeter. The achievement opens pathways for improved quantum computing and searches for dark matter.

Academy Professor Mikko Möttönen led the team at Aalto University, working with IQM and the Technical Research Centre of Finland. They built the device from superconducting and normal-conducting metals that respond to minute temperature shifts. The sensor registered an electromagnetic pulse of 0.83 zeptojoules after careful filtering of microwave signals. This marks the first calorimetric measurement at such sensitivity, according to the researchers.

Physicists at MIT have developed a new microscope using terahertz light to directly observe hidden quantum vibrations inside a superconducting material for the first time. The device compresses terahertz light to overcome its wavelength limitations, revealing frictionless electron flows in BSCCO. This breakthrough could advance understanding of superconductivity and terahertz-based communications.

Physicists revive 1773 experiment to hunt dark matter

Researchers propose updating a 1773 experiment by Henry Cavendish to detect millicharged particles, a potential dark matter candidate. The design uses nested metal shells and could be 10,000 times more sensitive than past methods. The setup promises to be cheaper and faster than particle accelerators.

Researchers at East China Normal University have developed a new imaging technique that captures ultrafast events in trillionths of a second, revealing both brightness and structural changes in a single shot. The method, called compressed spectral-temporal coherent modulation femtosecond imaging (CST-CMFI), tracks phenomena like plasma formation and electron movement. Yunhua Yao, the team leader, described it as a major advance for physics, chemistry, and materials science.
