Turbulence is everywhere — it rattles our planes and makes tiny whirlpools in our bathtubs — but it is one of the least understood phenomena in classical…
We all live in a curved geometry: the earth is not flat. We realize this whenever we board a plane across the Atlantic Ocean and seemingly take a detour – if…
Ultrafast, multidimensional spectroscopy unlocks macroscopic-scale effects of quantum electronic correlations.
Very recently, a team of researchers led by Professor Xiao Yun-Feng and Professor Gong Qihuang at Peking University, in collaboration with Professor Qiu…
Over its original four-year mission, the Kepler satellite looked for planets, especially those that lie in the “Habitable Zones” of their stars, where liquid…
University of Warwick researchers can now explain why some water droplets bounce like a beach ball off surfaces, without ever actually touching them. Now the…
Mobile communication, video streaming and satellite navigation would be inconceivable without light. It is light that enables the highest data transmission…
Despite the importance of the measurement process within the theory, it still holds unanswered questions:
Among the most exciting challenges in modern physics is the identification of the neutrino mass ordering. Physicists from the Cluster of Excellence PRISMA+ at…
How an electron behaves in an atom, or how it moves in a solid, can be predicted precisely with the equations of quantum mechanics. These theoretical…
These latest observations of the Sombrero are turning conventional theory on its head, showing only a tiny fraction of older, metal-poor stars in the halo,…
In addition, the technologies of birefringence patterning have been also used for generating light beams with spatially variant polarization known as vector…
Yoshizaki explains, “Knowing the composition and interior structure of rocky planets tells us about formation conditions, how and when the core separated from…
A few years ago researchers could already show that a certain physical effect – the spin-orbit torque – makes particularly fast data storage possible. Now…
Electrons are interesting particles that can modify their behavior according to their condition of existence. For instance, in a phenomenon called the…
In the research project TurbuMetric, scientists from the Jade University of Applied Sciences, the University of Oldenburg and the University of Applied…
