Fermilab’s Mu2e experiment completes detector installation, preparing to search for new physics through muon-to-electron conversion. Breakthrough physics imminent.
LEAD: Scientists have demonstrated the world’s first functional quantum battery — a device that uses the principles of quantum mechanics to charge exponentially faster than any conventional battery, with a proof-of-concept published March 29, 2026 in Nature Energy that could fundamentally reshape electric vehicles, smartphones, and grid-scale energy storage within a decade. Why Conventional Batteries Are Hitting a … Read more
