The Sun is interwoven by a complex network of magnetic field lines that are responsible for a large variety of fascinating features that can be seen in the…
They have experimentally demonstrated quantum antennae, which enable the exchange of quantum information between two separate memory cells located on a…
In an international first, Austrian quantum physicists have realized a toolbox of elementary building blocks for an open-system quantum simulator, where a…
During the final 15 minutes before Wednesday's scheduled launch of 5:09 a.m. EST, the vehicle interface control console, a ground interface with Orbital…
Neutron stars contain the densest known matter that is directly observable. One teaspoon of neutron star material weighs six billion tons. The pressure in the…
A fundamental component of a field-effect transistor (FET) is the gate dielectric, which determines the number of charge carriers—electrons or electron…
The household demand for increased internet bandwidth has grown tremendously because of the popularity of data-intensive internet activities such as movie…
“If you could put some of this superfluid in a jar it would flow up the walls of the container and over the edge,” said Heinke. Heinke says the core of the…
In chemical terms, nanoparticles have different properties from their «big brothers and sisters»: they have a large surface area in relation to their tiny mass…
Supersolids and superfluids rank among the most exotic of quantum mechanical phenomena. Superfluids can flow without any viscosity, and experience no friction…
They're looking at neutrinos, tiny particles with a major influence on physics research.Glenn Horton-Smith, associate professor of physics, is leading the…
This is the first time that disk structures comparable in size to our own solar system have been resolved this clearly, revealing features such as rings and…
The galaxies are far away and each boasts some 300 billion times the mass of the Sun. The size challenges current theory that predicts a galaxy has to be more…
A bright cusp of starlight marks the galaxy's center. Spiraling outward are dust lanes that are silhouetted against the population of whitish middle-aged…
The discovery of the thick disc, a major result from a five-year investigation, will help astronomers better understand the processes involved in the formation…
In November, the TOP500 list of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, for the first time ever, named the Chinese Tianhe-1A system at the National Computer…
