Better Quantum Entanglement Measurement in the Search for Quantum Materials A research team from the University of Hong Kong’s (HKU) Department of Physics has devised a new algorithm to detect entanglement entropy, enabling the investigation…
An Algorithm Might Cut Months off Quality Testing and Research in a Variety of Industries Sandia National Laboratories created a machine-learning method that could make bulk material testing faster and more cost-effective for the automotive, aerospace, and other industries. The…
Difference between Metals and Non-metals Identification of metals and nonmetals can be difficult if you are unfamiliar with their properties. A metal is a solid substance that is usually hard,…
Scientists Discover Exotic ‘X’ Particles in Quark-Gluon Plasma for the First Time The universe was a roiling, trillion-degree plasma of quarks and gluons elementary particles that briefly glommed together in countless combinations before cooling and settling into…
Precision Machining Creates Tiny, Light-Guiding Cubes for Information Technology Advancement Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory used an electron microscope to precisely create tiny electrically conductive cubes that can interact with…
In a Tiny Package, Researchers Combine Photoacoustic and Fluorescence Imaging A novel endoscope that combines photoacoustic and fluorescence imaging in a device roughly the thickness of a human hair has been demonstrated by researchers. By…
Physicists Keep a Bubble from Popping For Record-Breaking 465 Days It is normal to anticipate a bubble to pop soon when you blow it. They are, after all, delicate constructions that combine a variety of…
In Geospace, the Arase Satellite Discovers a Connection between Plasma Waves and Charged Particles Researchers from Japan show in a new study published in Physical Review Letters that high-frequency plasma waves in the Geospace can generate low-frequency plasma waves…
At the Extreme Quantum Limit, Correlated Electrons ‘Tango’ in a Perovskite Oxide A team lead by Oak Ridge National Laboratory of the Department of Energy has discovered a unique quantum substance in which electrons move in coordinated…
Matter and Anti-Matter Particles Show the Same Response to Gravity Matter and anti-matter particles respond equally to the same force in a gravitational field, at least to the extent that a CERN experiment can distinguish…
Mysterious Structures near Earth’s Core Could Be Legacy of Moon-Forming Impact Where the Earth’s outer core joins the mantle, thin structures have been discovered that drastically impede the transmission of seismic waves. These features, known as…
Next-Generation Interferometers may Rely on Optical Cavities A new approach has been devised that could help new instruments investigate fundamental physics problems like gravitational waves and dark matter. The concept is presented…
