Nearby pulsars shed light on the antimatter puzzle
Nov 27, 2017 (SPX)
Our planet is immersed in cosmic rays. The particles reaching the Earth from the depths of the Universe include positrons - antimatter equivalents of electrons....
A new window into electron behavior
Nov 23, 2017 (SPX)
The energy and momentum of these electrons, known as a material's "band structure," are key properties that describe how electrons move through a material. Ulti...
NIST's next-generation atomic clocks may support official timekeeping
Nov 23, 2017 (SPX)
But, so what? It's all part of NIST's continual effort to improve its ability to maintain and disseminate official U.S. civilian time. A practical question has ...
Taking a Spin on Plasma Space Tornadoes with NASA Observations
Nov 23, 2017 (SPX)
Nevertheless, some sneak through - and at the forefront of figuring out just how this happens is NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, or MMS. New results s...
Finding the highly sought Majorana quasiparticle
Nov 22, 2017 (SPX)
In a paper that appears in the journal Nature, Chris Palmstrom, a UCSB professor of electrical and computer engineering and of materials, and colleagues describ...
What is the computational power of the universe?
Nov 21, 2017 (SPX)
In The Computational Power of the Universe, Jordan does not imagine what we could learn if humanity somehow converted the entire cosmos into a vast computing de...
'Ion billiards' cue novel material synthesis method
Nov 21, 2017 (SPX)
The synthesis method is based on a liquid-free process that allows for intercalation - insertion of guest ions into a host material - and ion substitution with ...
Electron backscatter diffraction yields microstructure insights
Nov 17, 2017 (SPX)
Each of the different stages of motor construction, such as rolling, punching, laser cutting, or annealing, affects the material's microstructure and can lead t...
HAWC collaboration sheds light on origin of anti-matter
Nov 17, 2017 (SPX)
The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Gamma-Ray Observatory offers perspective on the very high energy light streaming from our stellar neighbors and casts s...
Molecular magnetism packs power with 'messenger electron'
Nov 17, 2017 (SPX)
The spins of unpaired electrons are the root of permanent magnetism, and after 10 years of design and re-design, Berry's lab has made a molecule that gains magn...
The unbelievable speed of electron emission from an atom
Nov 17, 2017 (SPX)
Researchers from Lund, Stockholm and Gothenburg in Sweden have documented the incredibly brief moment when two electrons in a neon atom are emitted. "When light...
A quasiparticle quest
Nov 09, 2017 (SPX)
In a bid to stretch the boundaries of our understanding of the quantum world, UC Santa Barbara researchers have developed a device that could prove the existenc...
University of Chicago scientists see fireworks from atoms at ultra-low temperatures
Nov 09, 2017 (SPX)
"This is a very fundamental behavior that we have never been seen before; it was a great surprise to us," said study author and professor of physics Cheng Chin....
Theoretical physicists are modeling complex quantum processes with cold atoms and ions
Nov 09, 2017 (SPX)
The projects on designing elements of a quantum computer and ultra-precise atomic clock based on trapped ultracold atoms and ions are being discussed. The resul...
NIST's new patent-pending method supplies entangled atoms fast
Nov 09, 2017 (SPX)
