Physicists confirm quantum entanglement persists between top quarks, the heaviest known fundamental particles
An experiment by a group of physicists led by University of Rochester physics professor Regina Demina has produced a significant result related to quantum entanglement—an effect that Albert Einstein called "spooky action at a distance.".....»»
Paris 2024 Olympics to debut high-level breakdancing—and physics in action
Two athletes square off for an intense dance battle. The DJ starts spinning tunes, and the athletes begin twisting, spinning and seemingly defying gravity, respectfully watching each other and taking turns showing off their skill......»»
Liquid crystal source of photon pairs opens path to new generation of quantum sources
Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC), as a source of entangled photons, is of great interest for quantum physics and quantum technology, but so far it could be only implemented in solids......»»
Nanowires create elite warriors to enhance T cell therapy
Adoptive T-cell therapy has revolutionized medicine. A patient's T-cells—a type of white blood cell that is part of the body's immune system—are extracted and modified in a lab and then infused back into the body, to seek and destroy infection, o.....»»
New theory links quantum geometry to electron-phonon coupling
A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions......»»
A breakthrough technology could make CPUs 100x faster

Switching nanomagnets using infrared lasers
When molecules are irradiated with infrared light, they begin to vibrate due to the energy supply. For Andreas Hauser from the Institute of Experimental Physics at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), this well-known phenomenon was the starting p.....»»
New plasma escape mechanism could protect fusion vessels from excessive heat
The furious exhaust heat generated by a fusing plasma in a commercial-scale reactor may not be as damaging to the vessel's innards as once thought, according to researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.....»»
Neutrinos: The inscrutable “ghost particles” driving scientists crazy

Entangled neutrinos may lead to heavier element formation
Elements are the building blocks of every chemical in the universe, but how and where the different elements formed is not entirely understood. A new paper in The Astrophysical Journal by University of Wisconsin–Madison physics professor Baha Balan.....»»
Nonreciprocal quantum batteries exhibit remarkable capacities and efficiency
In physics, nonreciprocity occurs when a system's response varies depending on the direction in which waves or signals are propagating within it. This asymmetry arises from a break in so-called time-reversal symmetry, which essentially means that a s.....»»
Scientists create world"s strongest iron-based superconducting magnet using AI
Scientists have developed the world's strongest iron-based superconducting magnet using AI, in what could be a breakthrough for affordable MRI machines and the future of electrified transport......»»
New tech could give individuals increased control over their own exposure to harmful gases
In an increasingly health-conscious society, data is a hot commodity. Tracking step counts with an old-school pedometer has turned into monitoring heart rates, sleep cycles and blood oxygen levels with wearable fitness trackers, a market that has exp.....»»
Cutting-edge mathematics provides new tool for particle collision puzzle
Scientists have used computational algebraic geometry to study predictions for particle physics experiments, such as those at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which first detected the Higgs particle in 2012......»»
Researchers engineer new approach for controlling thermal emission
The University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute has spearheaded an international team to engineer a novel approach for controlling thermal emission, detailed in a paper published in Science. This breakthrough offers new design strategies b.....»»
How a protein component of nuclear pore complexes regulates development of blood cells, contributes to myeloid disorders
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are channels composed of multiple proteins that ferry molecules in and out of the nucleus, regulating many critical cellular functions, such as gene expression, chromatin organization and RNA processes that influence cel.....»»
Study links nanoparticles to altered blood vessel formation in embryos
Human life begins with a single egg cell that grows into a human being with trillions of cells. To ensure that the highly complex development of tissues and organs is as protected as possible, the placental barrier keeps pathogens and foreign substan.....»»
Tracking blood sugar with your Apple Watch just got way easier
While the Apple Watch may not have blood glucose monitoring just yet, Dexcom users can now get real-time glucose readings on the Apple Watch......»»
Blood sugar measurement with Apple Watch no longer needs iPhone, says Dexcom
If you use the Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitoring system, you’ve long been able to view your blood sugar measurement on your Apple Watch – but you can now do so without your iPhone. Previously, the G7 wirelessly transmitted the health dat.....»»
