Using New Methods, Binary Black Hole Spin Behavior was Revealed
An important step toward understanding the mechanisms of supernovas and other important astrophysical questions has been made by research at Cornell University, which has revealed…
After a Binary Black Hole Merger, a Kick Velocity Big Enough for a Single Gravitational Wave Event is Identified
Following the first observation of a binary black hole merging, a team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Germany and…
Satellite Performance will be improved by Ultrathin Solar Cells
As low Earth orbit becomes increasingly crowded, it will become more necessary to use middle Earth orbits, and radiation-tolerant cell designs will be required. Thinner…
Quantum Communication is expanded through the Use of Microlasers
Quantum communication is an application of quantum physics that is closely related to quantum information processing and quantum teleportation. Its most intriguing application is the…
Asphaltene is Converted by Researchers into Graphene for Composites
Asphaltenes are a waste product with potential that are created during the manufacturing of crude oil. They are soluble in aromatics but insoluble in alkanes…
Physicists have discovered a Flaw in Proton Structure
An unexplained bump in the data has been confirmed by a new precision measurement of the proton’s electric polarizability. The electric polarizability of a proton…
Polaritons Trapped in a Quantum Box
Researchers created a polariton quantum box in a 2D material, achieving high polariton densities and a partially ‘coherent’ quantum state. The novel technique’s new insights…
Quantum Dots Combine to Create Ordered Matter
Quantum dots are nanocrystals that glow when stimulated by an external source, such as UV light. The number of atoms in a quantum dot determines…
Mini Twisters those are Ultra-cold
Vortices are found all over the place in nature. This is also true in the quantum world. These quantum vortices are thought to be a…
Information Technology Could Benefit From Majorana Fermions’ Zero Resistance
In Matter, a new multi-node FLEET review examines the hunt for Majorana fermions in iron-based superconductors. Ettore Majorana’s elusive Majorana fermion, or “angel particle,” which…
Wind Gusts are Accurately described by New Wind Field Models
Researchers at the University of Oldenburg in Germany have developed a new statistical model that can describe wind turbulence with far greater accuracy than previously.…
