Freeing electrons to better trap them
Apr 22, 2018 (SPX)
Many scientists considered this hypothesis to be impossible. However, it was recently successfully confirmed by physicists from the University of Geneva (UNIGE)...
Quantum shift shows itself in coupled light and matter
Apr 22, 2018 (SPX)

Similar charges are attracted to each other
Apr 22, 2018 (SPX)
The latent state of matter (which will be discussed further) was discovered by Serguei Brazovskii with a group of experimenters from Slovenia in 2014. The exper...
When nuclei catch up with electrons
Apr 22, 2018 (SPX)
So far, the few attosecond experiments performed on molecules have provided valuable insight into electron dynamics. In these studies, the dynamics of the nucle...
Researchers find new way of exploring the afterglow from the Big Bang
Apr 20, 2018 (SPX)
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a reverberation or afterglow left from when the universe was about 300,000 years old. It was first discovered in 1964 a...
Atoms may hum a tune from grand cosmic symphony
Apr 20, 2018 (SPX)
"From the atomic physics perspective, the experiment is beautifully described by existing theory," says Stephen Eckel, an atomic physicist at the National Insti...
Black hole and stellar winds shut down star formation in galaxy
Apr 19, 2018 (SPX)
The new study, led by CU Boulder research associate Francisco Muller-Sanchez, explores a galaxy called NGC 6240. While most galaxies in the universe hold only o...
En route to the optical nuclear clock
Apr 19, 2018 (SPX)
Together with their colleagues from Munich and Mainz, researchers at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) have now performed the first-ever measureme...

Understanding quantum chromodynamics
Apr 16, 2018 (SPX)
"One of the Grand Challenges in Computational Physics, is calculating the binding of quarks by applying Monte Carlo methods to QCD. It is very pleasing to see t...
Prototype of most advanced quantum memory presented by two Kazan universities
Apr 13, 2018 (SPX)
Professor Sergey Moiseev, Director of Kazan Quantum Center, explains, "The scheme of multiresonator microwave quantum memory allowed for reaching 16.3% of quant...
One string to rule them all
Apr 13, 2018 (SPX)
For a mechanical engineer, stress is usually a nuisance. Properly managed, however, it can also be a powerful tool: An elastic body responds to stress by adjust...
The background hum of space could reveal hidden black holes
Apr 13, 2018 (SPX)
The gravitational waves from black hole mergers imprint a distinctive whooping sound in the data collected by gravitational-wave detectors. The new technique is...
Tiny distortions in universe's oldest light reveal strands in cosmic web
Apr 11, 2018 (SPX)
The international science team, which included researchers from the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and UC Berkeley,...
Dense Stellar Clusters May Foster Black Hole Megamergers
Apr 11, 2018 (SPX)
Stellar binary black holes are formed when two black holes, created out of the remnants of massive stars, begin to orbit each other. Eventually, the black holes...
Chemical analysis technique gets major upgrade from Russian scientists
Apr 11, 2018 (SPX)
Mass spectrometry is the most efficient way to determine the chemical composition of an unknown mixture. To do this, first the molecules making up the mixture a...
