"Silent Wires Uncover Elusive Physics Phenomena"

Research teams are developing ultra-quiet electronic cables with ultra-pure materials to reduce interference from radioactive contaminants in sensitive physics experiments. These cables, which have been produced by a team at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, have applications in neutrino and dark matter experiments, as well as potential use in reducing the effects of ionizing radiation on future quantum computers. The cables are designed to eliminate interfering radioactivity and increase the sensitivity of experiments, bringing scientists closer to uncovering evidence of dark matter and neutrinoless double beta decay, which could help solve mysteries about the origin and nature of matter in the universe.
