New research suggests that neutrinos in the early universe may have transformed into a previously unknown form of radiation. A study led by physicist Bhupal Dev in WashU Arts & Sciences offers a new way to explain certain puzzling observations.

A team including scientists from the WashU Center for Quantum Leaps has harnessed nanodiamonds to take quantum readings of mitochondria. The work could reveal insights about cellular metabolism in health and disease.

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have found that diamond dust is not a suitable particle for stratospheric aerosol injection that could cool the Earth.

WashU researchers will be looking over data about high-energy neutrinos, retrieved during a balloon flight over Antarctica in January.
