Using metamaterial surfaces, researchers were able to amplify the signal of the photonic Spin Hall Effect, making it directly observable with simple detection techniques, and…
Scientists from the Berkeley Lab discovered that when topological insulators are hit with a laser beam, the spin polarization of the electrons they emit can…
In a new study, physicists look at the conditions necessary for the formation of carbon and oxygen to form carbon-based life in the universe. Life…
In a newly published study, physicists at UC Santa Barbara used a switch to manipulate light on superconducting chips, providing a new understanding in the…
After further review of the data from July’s particle discovery at the Large Hadron Collider, the new results point to the new particle having the…
Using an artificial atomic nuclei fabricated on graphene, a team of researchers imaged the “atomic collapse” states theorized to occur around super-large atomic nuclei. The…
Focusing on a protein called von Willebrand factor (VWF), a team of scientists discovered how stresses of blood flow in small blood vessels of the…
UCLA physicists have demonstrated that an electron beam can be accelerated by a laser in free space. Accelerating a free electron with a laser has…
A newly published study shows that graphene is highly efficient in converting light to electricity, demonstrating that graphene is able to convert a single photon…
In a newly published study, scientists from the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory detail a new set of tools that better pinpoint the arrival time of…
Beneath a mountain, an experiment is about to begin that could prove the existence of some of the strangest particles known to science. Physicists are…
On February 14, 2013, the Large Hadron Collider will begin “Long Shutdown 1,” a shutdown period of almost two years during which the LCH will…
University of Oslo’s leading theorist in astroparticle physics, Are Raklev, has launched a model that explains what dark matter may consist of and how one…
Four groups of scientists announced progress on a quantum-computing proposal made two years ago by MIT researchers that has the potential to lead towards the…
