Their study promotes further developments towards quantum computing and a deeper understanding of the foundations of quantum mechanics.Entanglement is a…
The developments move quantum information networks – which securely encode information by entangling photons and atoms – closer to a possible prototype system.
Now, a group of astronomers has discovered a new astronomical phenomenon that appears to be common in such clouds, and promises a new window onto the earliest…
Individuals within a networked system coordinate their activities by communicating to each other information such as their position, speed, or intention. At…
Salvatore Amoruso at University of Naples, Italy and colleagues examined the expansion dynamics of various ultrashort laser ablation plumes and the basic…
Several of the slightly doped high-purity barium titanate (BT) ceramics his research group was investigating were not following the venerable Ohm's Law, which…
Yet the vast storage amount is limited by the ability to write data quickly enough to the device. In the Journal of Applied Physics, researchers at Sun Yat-Sen…
“Our prototype experiment produces a sort of 'molecular movie' of the atoms in action,” says author Michael Woerner of the Max-Born-Institut für Nichtlineare…
Caltech physicist Shin'ichiro Ando and Alexander Kusenko, a professor of physics and astronomy at UCLA, report the discovery in a paper to be published in an…
Symmetry is a fundamental concept in physics. Our ‘standard model’ of particle physics, for example, predicts that matter and anti-matter should have been…
“In layman’s terms, we have discovered a new and fundamentally different type of rock on the Moon,” declares Dr. Timothy Glotch, assistant professor in the…
These one-light-year-tall pillars of cold hydrogen and dust, imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope, are located in the Carina Nebula. Violent stellar winds and…
Chemical reactions in the cell are catalyzed by enzymes, which are protein molecules that speed up reactions. Each protein catalyzes a specific reaction. In a…
Now an entire new class of phase-change materials has been discovered by researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the…
The team's findings point toward an oscillator that would harness the spin of electrons to generate microwaves—electromagnetic waves in the frequencies used by…
The star in question, known as BP Piscium (BP Psc), appears to be a more evolved version of our Sun, but with a dusty and gaseous disk surrounding it. A pair…
