The results cap 15 years of detective work aimed at understanding how these materials transition into a superconducting state where they can conduct electricity with…
Zero-index metamaterials offer new insights into the foundations of quantum mechanics. In physics, as in life, it’s always good to look at things from different…
Less than a millionth of a billionth of a second long, attosecond X-ray pulses allow researchers to peer deep inside molecules and follow electrons as…
A “beyond-quantum” equivalence principle for superposition and entanglement. Foundational Questions Institute (FQXi) funded study found a novel connection between two weird quantum phenomena–superposition and entanglement–with…
Lasers Trigger Magnetism in Atomically Thin Quantum Materials Researchers have discovered that light — in the form of a laser — can trigger a form…
A day in the life of two accelerator experts Kathleen Ratcliffe and Tien Fak Tan have cooperated over the last several years to help create…
A new and surprising duality has been found in theoretical particle physics. The duality exists between two types of scattering processes that can occur in…
New Experiment Could Confirm the Fifth Element An experiment that could confirm the fifth state of matter in the universe — and change physics as…
Researchers identify the physics that enables rapid magnetic explosions in space. When magnetic field lines of opposite directions merge, they create explosions that can release…
A new atomic nucleus 149-Lutetium, consisting of 71 protons and 78 neutrons, has been synthesized in an experiment performed in the Accelerator Laboratory of University…
Scientists have taken a significant step in understanding these whirling quasiparticles and putting them to work in future semiconductor technologies. Researchers reported that they have…
Associate professor Mazhar Ali and his research group at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) have discovered one-way superconductivity without magnetic fields, something that was…
Researcher at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a new way to create nano-sized magnetic particles using ultrafast laser light pulses. The revelation could pave…
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have gained insight into a fundamental process found throughout the universe. Scientists…
According to recent simulations and analysis, the flagship fusion facility of the United States Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) might serve…
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have created an efficient computer algorithm to model the crazy-quilt movement of free electrons…
Superconductors are materials that conduct electrical current with almost no electrical resistance at all. This property makes them particularly appealing for a variety of applications,…
“You can do it quickly, you can do it cheaply, or you can do it right. We did it right.” These were some of David…
