Small cavity, big universe: hunting axions and gravitational waves
Superconducting cavities are at the heart of many particle accelerators, boosting particles to extremely high energies. Under the right conditions, however, the hollow niobium structures can also be used to probe phenomena that have hardly been explored so far. These include ...

DESY Theory effort determines strong force with the highest precision
The glow of stars, the movement of planets, or the interaction of atoms – a set of only four fundamental forces is responsible for all interaction of and in matter. Every earth-based physics experiment which we can carry out in laboratories – small or big – is governed by ...
