A New Idea explains the Form of a Single Photon
A new theory, that explains how light and matter interact at the quantum level has enabled researchers to define for the first time the precise…
Deciphering the Unusual Features of Water
Water, a molecule essential for life, has unusual properties — known as anomalies — that define its behaviour. However, there are still many enigmas about the molecular…
Scientists Discover a Novel Method for Entangling Light and Sound
For a wide variety of emerging quantum technologies, such as secure quantum communications and quantum computing, quantum entanglement is a prerequisite. Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institute…
Gravity Research based on Einstein’s General Relativity Theory
Gravity has shaped our cosmos. Its attractive influence turned tiny differences in the amount of matter present in the early universe into the sprawling strands…
Researchers Generate Powerful Attosecond X-ray Pulses with Megahertz Repetition Rates
A research team at European XFEL and DESY has achieved a major advance in X-ray science by generating unprecedented high-power attosecond hard X-ray pulses at…
Scientists Create a Novel Technique for High-resolution Visualization of Magnetic Nanostructures
Researchers can now analyze magnetic nanostructures with great resolution thanks to a novel technique. It was created by scientists from the Max Planck Institute of…
Researchers find that Laser Light can Create Shadows
Researchers have found that under certain conditions, a laser beam can act like an opaque object and cast a shadow, opening new possibilities for technologies…
Ultra-bright Gamma Rays are Produced by Nonlinear Compton Scattering Using a Multi-petawatt Laser
A team of researchers has successfully demonstrated nonlinear Compton scattering (NCS) between an ultra-relativistic electron beam and an ultrahigh intensity laser pulse using the 4-Petawatt…
Difference between Mass and Weight
Weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass and can vary depending on the strength of the gravitational field. Mass is a measure…
Difference between Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy
Potential energy is the energy stored in any object or system due to the position or arrangement of its parts. It is, however, unaffected by…
Nobel Prize 2024 in Physics for Work on Machine Learning
The 2024 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton for their fundamental discoveries in machine learning, which paved the…
