Congratulations to our collaborator XENON1T who just observed the rarest decay process ever measured! While this liquid xenon Time Projection Chamber is designed to search for dark matter, its ultra-low background allows the chamber to be sensitive to a large range of rare processes. One of these is the 2 … Read More
Ariella Gladstein at the University of Arizona reconstructed the population history of Ashkenazi Jews, who are Jews historically from Central and Eastern Europe. The Ashkenazi Jews are often used in genetic studies due to their high rates of genetic disorders and complicated population history. However, until now, genetic studies have … Read More
