Tiny particles work together to do big things
Oct 17, 2022 (SPX)
Working together, the microparticles can generate a beating clock that oscillates at a very low frequency. These oscillations can then be harnessed to power tin...
Webb reveals new surprises on galaxy organic molecules near black holes
Oct 13, 2022 (SPX)
This new analysis, led by Dr Ismael Garcia-Bernete from Oxford University's Department of Physics, used JWST's cutting-edge instruments to characterise, for the...
Revealing the mysteries of the universe under the skin of an atomic nucleus
Oct 13, 2022 (SPX)
In a recently published article in the scientific journal Nature Physics, Chalmers researchers present a breakthrough in the calculation of the atomic nucleus o...
Milestones achieved on the path to useful quantum technologies
Oct 07, 2022 (SPX)
Entangled systems containing multiple quantum particles offer significant benefits in implementing quantum algorithms, which have the potential to be used in co...
Potential first traces of the first stars (EMBARGOED* UNTIL Sept. 28, 2022, 6 a.m. MST):
Sep 29, 2022 (SPX)
The very first stars likely formed when the Universe was only 100 million years old, less than one percent its current age. These first stars - known as Populat...
Tracing uncertainty: Google harnesses quantum mechanics at California lab
Sep 29, 2022 (AFP)
Inside, it's minus 460 Fahrenheit (-273 Celsius) in some spots, pockets of cold that bristle with the impossible physics of quantum mechanics -- a science in wh...
Potential first traces of the first stars
Sep 29, 2022 (SPX)
The very first stars likely formed when the Universe was only 100 million years old, less than one percent its current age. These first stars - known as Populat...
Two particles... Three particles
Sep 28, 2022 (SPX)
The researchers from the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR), TU Dortmund University and the Los Alamos National Laboratory...
Satellite mission confirms cornerstone of general relativity is unshakeable
Sep 16, 2022 (SPX)
The result, announced this week by a team led by the French space agency CNES, is a triumph for Einstein's general relativity. However, it also potentially rule...
Magnetic skyrmions - ready for take-off?
Sep 07, 2022 (SPX)
On the other hand, skyrmions in thin magnetic films may act as an ideal test bed to study the dynamics of topologically non-trivial magnetic quasi-particles. Ho...
Particles pick pair partners differently in small nuclei
Sep 06, 2022 (SPX)
The data also reveal new details about short-distance interactions between protons and neutrons in nuclei and may impact results from experiments seeking to tea...
The electron slow motion: Ion physics on the femtosecond scale
Sep 06, 2022 (SPX)
The result of an ion impact on a material is easy to study retrospectively. However, it is difficult to understand the temporal sequence of such processes. A re...
Signs of saturation emerge from particle collisions at RHIC
Sep 06, 2022 (SPX)
The evidence is suppression of back-to-back pairs of particles emerging from collisions between protons and heavier ions (the nuclei of atoms), as tracked by RH...
Strength of results consistency and agreement
Sep 06, 2022 (SPX)
In fact, you can read about their ground-breaking work: the subject of their research, the methods they used and, above all, the results they achieved in the ar...
SU N matter is about 3 billion times colder than deep space
Sep 02, 2022 (SPX)
A Kyoto team led by study author Yoshiro Takahashi used lasers to cool its fermions, atoms of ytterbium, within about one-billionth of a degree of absolute zero...
Scientists take another theoretical step to uncovering the mystery of dark matter, black holes
Aug 25, 2022 (SPX)
The three Stony Brook authors include Rouven Essig, PhD, Professor in the C. N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics (YITP); Rosalba Perna, PhD, Professor in ...
How do you take a better image of atom clouds? Mirrors - lots of mirrors
Aug 25, 2022 (SPX)
Researchers at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory realized that task would be perhaps the ultimate exercise in ultra-low light phot...
Ready for its close-up: New technology sharpens images of black holes
Aug 24, 2022 (SPX)
Simulations predict that, obscured by that bright orange glow, there should exist a thin, bright ring of light created by photons flung around the back of the b...
What are wormholes? An astrophysicist explains these shortcuts through space-time
Aug 24, 2022 (SPX)
A wormhole is like a tunnel between two distant points in our universe that cuts the travel time from one point to the other. Instead of traveling for many mill...
Black hole collisions could help us measure how fast the universe is expanding
Aug 23, 2022 (SPX)
In a new study, two University of Chicago astrophysicists laid out a method for how to use pairs of colliding black holes to measure how fast our universe is ex...
