Physicists see electron whirlpools for the first time
Jul 11, 2022 (SPX)
Not so with electricity. While an electric current is also a construct of distinct particles - in this case, electrons - the particles are so small that any col...
Quantum physics: Record entanglement of quantum memories
Jul 08, 2022 (SPX)
A team led by physicists Prof. Harald Weinfurter from LMU and Prof. Christoph Becher from Saarland University have now coupled two atomic quantum memories over ...
Scientists discover how first quasars in universe formed
Jul 07, 2022 (SPX)
The existence of over 200 quasars powered by supermassive black holes less than a billion years after the Big Bang had remained one of the outstanding problems ...
Researchers use X-rays to decode complex piece of cellular machinery, atom by atom
Jul 07, 2022 (SPX)
The nucleus of every cell in our bodies contains many complicated parts. One of the most intricate is called the nuclear pore complex, or NPC. It's made up of m...
Magnetic spins that 'freeze' when heated: Nature in the wrong direction
Jul 06, 2022 (SPX)
The researchers discovered the phenomenon in the material neodymium, an element that they described several years ago as a 'self-induced spin glass'. Spin glass...
Large Hadron Collider project discovers three new exotic particles
Jul 06, 2022 (SPX)
"Like proton or neutrons, the particles that make up the nucleus of the atom, these new particles are made up of quarks", explained Chris Parkes, Professor of E...
Star with the shortest orbital period around black hole discovered
Jul 06, 2022 (SPX)
In the vicinity of the black hole at the centre of our galaxy is a densely packed cluster of stars. This cluster, called S cluster, is home to well over a hundr...
Keeping the energy in the room
Jul 06, 2022 (SPX)
UC Santa Barbara Professor Ben Mazin is developing precision optical sensors for telescopes and observatories. In a paper published in Physical Review Letters, ...
Physicists confront the neutron lifetime puzzle
Jul 06, 2022 (SPX)
"Dark matter remains one of the most important and puzzling questions in science - clear evidence we don't understand all matter in nature," said ORNL's Leah Br...
Quantum network nodes with warm atoms
Jun 24, 2022 (SPX)
In quantum communication networks, information is transmitted by single particles of light (photons). At the nodes of such a network buffer elements are needed ...
Fertile ground for the elusive Majorana 'angel' particle
Jun 23, 2022 (SPX)
Majorana fermions promise information and communications technology with zero resistance, addressing the rising energy consumption of modern electronics (alread...
Experiment results confirm anomaly suggesting new physics possibility
Jun 21, 2022 (SPX)
"The results are very exciting," said Steve Elliott, lead analyst of one of the teams evaluating the data and a member of Los Alamos' Physics division. "This de...
Study reveals how some high-energy particle 'jets' lose energy
Jun 10, 2022 (SPX)
"By looking at how jets of particles slow down as they move through the QGP, we can learn about its properties the same way studying how objects move through wa...
Astronomers may have detected a 'dark' free-floating black hole
Jun 10, 2022 (SPX)
Now, a team led by University of California, Berkeley, astronomers has for the first time discovered what may be a free-floating black hole by observing the bri...
You can hear every event twice in a three-dimensional quantum gas
Jun 10, 2022 (SPX)
The researchers in their experiment have realized this remarkable property for the first time in a three-dimensional quantum gas, instead of a quantum liquid. T...
Difficult-to-observe effect confirms the existence of quark mass
Jun 10, 2022 (SPX)
The objects that make up our physical everyday life can have many different properties. Among these, a fundamental role is played by mass. Despite being so fund...
Twisted, layered quantum materials offer new picture of how electrons behave
Jun 10, 2022 (SPX)
"This is really a whole new horizon," said Sanfeng Wu, assistant professor of physics at Princeton University and the senior author of the paper. "We were able ...
Elusive particle discovered in a material through tabletop experiment
Jun 10, 2022 (SPX)
The detection a decade ago of the long-sought Higgs Boson became central to the understanding of mass. Unlike its parent, axial Higgs mode has a magnetic moment...
Combination of heavy-ion experiments, astronomy, and theory offers new insights
Jun 09, 2022 (SPX)
Neutron stars are born in supernova explosions that mark the end of the life of massive stars. Sometimes neutron stars are bound in binary systems and will even...
The end of the cosmic dawn
Jun 08, 2022 (SPX)
The Universe has undergone different phases from its beginning to its current state. During the first 380,000 years after the Big Bang it was a hot and dense io...
