Only a few years ago it seemed unfeasible to extend the techniques of atom manipulation and deep cooling in the ultracold regime to many-valence-electron…
A research team headed by Prof. Dr. Frank Stienkemeier and Dr. Lukas Bruder of the University of Freiburg’s Institute of Physics has succeeded for the first…
Behind every natural process are processes at atomic and molecular levels. These often take place on very short time scales, often they are faster than a…
Electric diodes are essential electronic components that conduct electricity in one direction but prevent conduction in the opposite one. They are found at the…
Astronomers have gleaned some of the best data yet on the composition of a planet known as HR 8799c–a young giant gas planet about 7 times the mass of Jupiter…
Ludvig de Knoop, from Chalmers' Department of Physics, placed a small piece of gold in an electron microscope. Observing it at the highest level of…
Using machine-learning and an integrated photonic chip, researchers from INRS (Canada) and the University of Sussex (UK) can now customize the properties of…
Some fly out into space, while others are funneled along magnetic field lines into Earth's upper atmosphere where they create auroras, or wreak havoc on power…
Magnetic reconnection has remained a bit of a mystery to scientists. They know it exists and have documented the effects that the energy explosions can…
Astronomers from the Observatory of the University of Hamburg were involved in the discovery of a new planet. As part of an international research team led by…
Gravitational waves were predicted by Albert Einstein in his General Theory of Relativity in 1915. The waves are disturbances in space time generated by…
We are reaching the limits of silicon capabilities in terms of data storage density and speed of memory devices. One of the potential next-generation data…
Included among PPPL staffers were members of the Science Education Department who presented their work focused on workforce development and diversity, and…
A reflection always reproduces objects as a complete mirror image, rather than just its individual parts or individual parts in a completely different…
The observatory on Mauna Kea in Hawaii is world-famous. Less well-known is the fact that the Hawaiian Islands are home to one of the leading institutes for…
The scientists used the magnetism of single atoms, known as spin, as a basic building block for quantum information processing. The researchers could show that…
