Examining the entrainment rate of shallow cumulus clouds and its influencing factors
Clouds are not only a mesmerizing spectacle in the sky but also a crucial player in Earth's atmospheric dynamics. Among the many types of clouds, cumulus clouds stand out because of their pivotal role in regulating weather patterns and climate. One o.....»»
Quantum computer unveils atomic dynamics of light-sensitive molecules
Researchers at Duke University have implemented a quantum-based method to observe a quantum effect in the way light-absorbing molecules interact with incoming photons. Known as a conical intersection, the effect puts limitations on the paths molecule.....»»
Discovery puts a magnetic spin on neuromorphic computing
The word "fractals" might inspire images of psychedelic colors spiraling into infinity in a computer animation. An invisible, but powerful and useful, version of this phenomenon exists in the realm of dynamic magnetic fractal networks......»»
New experimental research measures the speed of molecular charge migration for the first time
To discover how light interacts with molecules, the first step is to follow electron dynamics, which evolve at the attosecond timescale. The dynamics of this first step have been called charge migration (CM). CM plays a fundamental role in chemical r.....»»
Do measurements produce the reality they show us?
Whenever the precision of a measurement approaches the uncertainty limit defined by quantum mechanics, the outcomes of the measurement depend on the dynamics of the interactions with the meter used to determine a physical property of the system. This.....»»
How a lone "immigrant" wolf revived a forest ecosystem
In 1997, a lone wolf crossed an ice bridge that briefly connected Canada with the remote Isle Royale, which lies off the coast of Michigan in Lake Superior and is renowned for its rich biodiversity......»»
Fluid dynamics researchers shed light on how partially submerged objects experience drag
One of the most common and practically useful experiments in all of fluid dynamics involves holding an object in air or submerging it fully underwater, exposing it to a steady flow to measure its resistance in the form of drag. Studies on drag resist.....»»
Deciphering the molecular dynamics of complex proteins
