In a first for quantum physics, University of Otago researchers have “held” individual atoms in place and observed previously unseen complex atomic interactions. A myriad…
It was predicted 30 years ago, now the effect was measured for the first time by scientists at TU Wien (Vienna): The neutron spin exhibits…
The MoEDAL collaboration at CERN reports the first search at a particle accelerator for particles with both electric and magnetic charge. A magnetic monopole is…
Recent observations of the internal structure of the rare isotope ruthenium-88 shed new light on the internal structure of atomic nuclei, a breakthrough which could…
Discovery shows electrons can bind together in ways similar to how quarks combine to form neutrons and protons. A research team led by professors from…
The French theoretical physicist Franck Laloë presents a modification of Schrödinger’s famous equation that ensures that all measured states are unique, helping to solve the…
Researchers demonstrate how the perfect flow of electrons on the surface of some types of topological insulators can be surprisingly fragile. Electrons race along the…
Researchers at SAGA Light Source, the University of Toyama, Hiroshima University and the Institute for Molecular Science have demonstrated a method to control the shape…
They had been looking for something completely different, but they found a previously unknown quasi-particle they named pi-ton: A bound state of two electrons, two…
The transition could lead to advances in data storage, microelectronics, and sensors. Inverse transitions seem to contradict the fundamental law that disorder increases with temperature….
This result suggests that superconductivity approaching room temperature may be possible in hydrogen-rich compounds at much lower pressures than previously expected with classical calculations. The…
“Abnormal” behavior predicted more than 50 years ago may help scientists probe the atmosphere and gauge the environment. Researchers at Tel Aviv University have for…
Symmetry has been one of the guiding principles in physicists’ search for fundamental laws of nature. What does it mean that laws of nature have…
Scientists have demonstrated a key technology in making next-generation high-energy particle accelerators possible. Particle accelerators are used to probe the make-up of matter in colliders…
Most modern electronic devices rely on tiny, finely-tuned electrical currents to process and store information. These currents dictate how fast our computers run, how regularly…
It is well known that quantum properties of individual atoms can be controlled and manipulated by laser light. Even large clouds of hundreds of millions…
Even though they are inanimate objects, sand dunes can ‘communicate’ with each other. A team from the University of Cambridge has found that as they…
Closely Spaced Hydrogen Atoms Could Facilitate Superconductivity in Ambient Conditions An international team of researchers has discovered the hydrogen atoms in a metal hydride material…
