SLAC invention uses terahertz radiation to power a miniscule copper accelerator structure. Particle accelerators generate high-energy beams of electrons, protons and ions for a wide…
Through a one-of-a-kind experiment at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, nuclear physicists have precisely measured the weak interaction between protons and neutrons….
Physicists at Chalmers, together with colleagues in Russia and Poland, have managed to achieve ultrastrong coupling between light and matter at room temperature. The discovery…
Paradox-free time travel is theoretically possible, according to the mathematical modeling of a prodigious University of Queensland undergraduate student. Fourth-year Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours)…
Remembrance of Waves Past: Memory Imprints Motion on Scattered Waves Between relativistic and classical wave regimes, newly discovered memory effect alters the Doppler wave signature….
Until now, the history of superconducting materials has been a tale of two types: s-wave and d-wave. Now, Cornell researchers — led by Brad Ramshaw,…
Physicists from Lancaster University have established why objects moving through superfluid helium-3 lack a speed limit in a continuation of earlier Lancaster research. Helium-3 is…
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory used quantum optics to advance state-of-the-art microscopy and illuminate a path to detecting material properties…
Eindhoven University of Technology researchers found five different phases in mixtures of two substances. Frozen water can take on up to three forms at the…
Scientists have discovered an elegant way of manipulating light using a “synthetic” Lorentz force — which in nature is responsible for many fascinating phenomena including…
Researchers at CRANN and Trinity’s School of Physics have discovered that a new material can act as a super-fast magnetic switch. When struck by successive…
International research team logs emission of terahertz radiation. An international team of physicists from Bielefeld University, Uppsala University, the University of Strasbourg, University of Shanghai…
For decades Z-X Shen has ridden a wave of curiosity about the strange behavior of electrons that can levitate magnets. Zhi-Xun Shen vividly remembers his…
Self-assembled peptides, when aligned, show great promise for electricity generation. Nanogenerators capable of converting mechanical energy into electricity are typically made from metal oxides and…
Researchers at MIPT Laboratory of Terahertz Spectroscopy together with their Russian and international colleagues discovered a new phase of nanoconfined water; separate water molecules that…
Rice physicists set far-more-accurate limits on speed of quantum information. Nature’s speed limits aren’t posted on road signs, but Rice University physicists have discovered a…
Magnetic topological insulators could be just right for making qubits, but this one doesn’t obey the rules. The search is on to discover new states…
A team from Osaka City University, in collaboration with other international partners, has demonstrated a reliable and precise microscope-based thermometer that works in live, microscopic…
