Physicists from Queen Mary’s School of Mathematical Sciences, together with colleagues from Bristol University, discovered a pattern in frozen glasses that relates to prime numbers….
Does the Higgs boson particle exits? What happens if we find it and what if we don’t? These are just a few of the questions…
A new study set to be published this week describes how physicists at the University of Vienna demonstrated in an experiment that the decision whether…
While using X-rays from the Swiss Light Source (SLS) fired at Sr2CuO3, physicists at the Paul Scherrer Institute observed an electron splitting into two new…
Quantum physicists have constructed an elementary network for storing and exchanging quantum information. The network was setup with two all-purpose nodes, which can send, receive,…
A three-week experiment is set to start on April 24th at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Newport News, Virginia, in which electrons will…
A newly published paper details the findings made by physicists while measuring the coherence and spin of excitons in a refrigerated system. The team discovered…
Particle-wave duality is one of the most mysterious facets of quantum physics. It states that every quantum object has properties of both a wave and…
To further understand magnetism and superconductivity, scientists examined the “spin states” and responses of two-dimensional lattices to extreme pressures, finding strong magnetic and lattice-structure coupling….
Scientists are proposing the building of a hyper-accurate nuclear clock that would lose only one-tenth of a second over 14 billion years, the current age…
In a method that appears to be 50 times more efficient than using X-rays, computer simulations showed that high-gain nuclear fusion is possible in a…
A team of physicists is the first to successfully realize a quantum walk in two dimensions and believe by simulating these quantum walks, physicists could…
A video artist’s ultra-slow-motion impression of an APEX-style electron gun firing a continuous train of electron bunches into a superconducting linear accelerator (in reality this…
A new Italian experiment indicates that neutrinos stay within the speed of light. The findings were posted on arXiv.org as a preprint, and contradict rival…
By following the dynamics of a quantum system of strongly correlated ultracold atoms in an optical lattice, a team of physicists has demonstrated the superiority…
The development of metamaterials continues to move forward as physicists at Harvard have used short and powerful laser pulses to create 3-D patterns of tiny…
While using X-ray pulses, a team of scientists was able to observe how magnetism in nickel and iron atoms works, which could lead to faster…
