A piece of work by NUP/UPNA researchers demonstrates various ways for controlling light in the terahertz frequency range
Sep 25, 2014 (SPX)
The Journal of Optics has devoted the front page of its special edition on Mid-infrared and THz Photonics to the work produced by the NUP/UPNA-Public University...
Magnetic fields make the excitons go 'round
Sep 23, 2014 (SPX)
A major limitation in the performance of solar cells happens within the photovoltaic material itself: When photons strike the molecules of a solar cell, they tr...
Big surprises can come in small packages
Sep 23, 2014 (SPX)
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have found a monster lurking in a very unlikely place. New observations of the ultracompact dwarf galaxy M...
Uncovering the forbidden side of molecules
Sep 23, 2014 (SPX)
Researchers at the University of Basel in Switzerland have succeeded in observing the "forbidden" infrared spectrum of a charged molecule for the first time. Th...
Hubble Helps Find Smallest Galaxy Containing Supermassive Black Hole
Sep 23, 2014 (SPX)
Astronomers using data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and ground observation have found an unlikely object in an improbable place -- a monster black hole lu...
New 'star' shaped molecule breakthrough
Sep 23, 2014 (SPX)
Scientists at The University of Manchester have generated a new star-shaped molecule made up of interlocking rings, which is the most complex of its kind ever c...
Penn research helps uncover mechanism behind solid-solid phase transitions
Sep 23, 2014 (SPX)
Two solids made of the same elements but with different geometric arrangements of the atoms, or crystal phases, can produce materials with different properties....
Chemical bond between a superheavy element and a carbon atom established
Sep 23, 2014 (SPX)
An international collaboration led by research groups from Mainz and Darmstadt has achieved the synthesis of a new class of chemical compounds for superheavy el...
Physicists teleport photon over 15 miles
Sep 21, 2014 (UPI)
Professor Nicolas Gisin and his team have successfully teleported a photon over 15 miles in its quantum state. The Swiss team of scientists aimed to transport t...
Three's a charm: NIST detectors reveal entangled photon triplets
Sep 18, 2014 (SPX)
Researchers at the University of Waterloo in Canada have directly entangled three photons in the most technologically useful state for the first time, thanks in...
UCI team is first to capture motion of single molecule in real time
Sep 18, 2014 (SPX)
UC Irvine chemists have scored a scientific first: capturing moving images of a single molecule as it vibrates, or "breathes," and shifts from one quantum state...
Making quantum dots glow brighter
Sep 18, 2014 (SPX)
Researchers from the University of Alabama in Huntsville and the University of Oklahoma have found a new way to control the properties of quantum dots, those ti...
Elusive quantum transformations found near absolute zero
Sep 18, 2014 (SPX)
Heat drives classical phase transitions-think solid, liquid, and gas-but much stranger things can happen when the temperature drops. If phase transitions occur ...
Mysterious quasar sequence explained
Sep 12, 2014 (SPX)
Quasars are supermassive black holes that live at the center of distant massive galaxies. They shine as the most luminous beacons in the sky across the entire e...
Two-dimensional electron liquids
Sep 11, 2014 (SPX)
Truly two-dimensional objects are rare. Even a thin piece of paper is trillions of atoms thick. When physicists do succeed in producing 2D systems, quantum inte...
Co-flowing liquids can stabilize chaotic 'whipping' in microfluidic jets
Sep 09, 2014 (SPX)
Industrial wet spinning processes produce fibers from polymers and other materials by using tiny needles to eject continuous jets of liquid precursors. The elec...
God Particle could destroy universe, according to Hawking
Sep 08, 2014 (UPI)
In the preface of an upcoming book, Starmus, Stephen Hawking claims the Higgs Boson particle, a.k.a. the "God particle," could destroy the universe. As first di...
Single laser stops molecular tumbling motion instantly
Sep 04, 2014 (SPX)
In the quantum world, making the simple atom behave is one thing, but making the more complex molecule behave is another story. Now Northwestern University scie...
Cool Calculations for Cold Atoms
Sep 03, 2014 (SPX)
Chemical reactions drive the mechanisms of life as well as a million other natural processes on earth. These reactions occur at a wide spectrum of temperatures,...
Technique uses fraction of measurements to find quantum wave functions
Sep 01, 2014 (SPX)
The result of every possible measurement on a quantum system is coded in its wave function, which until recently could be found only by taking many different me...
