Detectors for a new era of ATLAS physics
The High-Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will dramatically increase the rate of collisions in the ATLAS experiment. While offering an opportunity for physicists to explore some of the rarest processes in the universe, the lar.....»»
The first experimental bosonic stimulation of atom-light scattering in an ultracold gas
Bosons, one of the two fundamental classes of particles, have been the focus of countless physics studies. When bosonic particles are transitioning into an already occupied final quantum state, the rate of this transition is enhanced by its so-called.....»»
Researchers measure size-luminosity relation of galaxies less than a billion years after Big Bang
An international team of researchers including the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) has studied the relation between galaxy size and luminosity of some of the earliest galaxies in the universe taken by the.....»»
Raman spectroscopy method for rapid identification of beer spoilage bacteria
In a study published in Analytical Methods, a research group led by Li Bei from the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) proposed the rapid detection of beer spoilage bacteria base.....»»
Star on a dangerous path provides regular meals for supermassive black hole
In the eROSITA all-sky survey, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) have found an interesting repeating event. In an otherwise quiescent galaxy, an X-ray flare repeats every 220 days, indicating that a star orbiti.....»»
New wage atlas shows more than half of New Yorkers earn below a living wage
A new digital wage atlas launched by Cornell University researchers shows that more than half of New Yorkers earn below a living wage......»»
Oddities in nuclear reactor measurements not due to a new particle
An anomaly in neutrino measurements is real, but the cause isn't a new neutrino. Enlarge / A diagram of the array of detectors in STEREO (left) and its location near a nuclear reactor (right). (credit: Loris Scola - CEA).....»»
Electrons take new shape inside unconventional metal
One of the biggest achievements of quantum physics was recasting our vision of the atom. Out was the early 1900s model of a solar system in miniature, in which electrons looped around a solid nucleus. Instead, quantum physics showed that electrons li.....»»
A new method to evaluate thermoelectric materials
Working with one of the world's preeminent thermoelectric materials researchers, a team of researchers in the Clemson Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Clemson Nanomaterials Institute (CNI) has developed a new, fool-proof method to evaluate.....»»
Decoding mega magnetic explosions outside the solar system
Neutron stars and black holes may be stellar corpses, but they are among the most active celestial objects. They produce some of the highest-energy radiation ever observed, and scientists have long puzzled over the physics that underlies the process.....»»
High efficiency vortex beam generation without alignment center
The PBG group of Department of physics, Fudan University, recently proposed a method using a reflective photonic crystal slab to generate vortex with high conversion efficiency and without an alignment center......»»
A Crucial Particle Physics Computer Program Risks Obsolescence
Maintenance of FORM, the 1980s software that’s used for the field's hardest calculations, rests almost entirely with one septuagenarian physicist......»»
Study explores topological beaming of light
Nanophotonic light emitters are compact and versatile devices with wide-ranging applications in applied physics. In a new report now published on Science Advances, Ki Young Lee and a research team in physics and engineering in China and the UK, propo.....»»
High-visibility quantum interference between two independent semiconductor quantum dots achieved
This year's Nobel Prize in Physics celebrated the fundamental interest of quantum entanglement, and also envisioned the potential applications in "the second quantum revolution"—a new age when we are able to manipulate the weirdness of quantum mech.....»»
Researchers build cell atlas using scattered single-cell datasets
Imagine a virtual human body, rich in complexity and detail, that enables scientists to simulate experiments that can't be conducted in vivo or in vitro. A team of Chinese researchers brought this vision closer to reality by developing a framework fo.....»»
Study lays foundation for producing germanium-68/gallium-68 generator
Researchers at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have conducted a study on the separation route of germanium-68 and successfully prepared a germanium-68/gallium-68 generator......»»
sPHENIX assembly update: Magnet mapped, detectors prepared
Physicists, engineers, and technicians at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory are rounding out the year with key developments to a house-sized particle detector that will begin capturing collision snapshots for the fi.....»»
Researchers create the world"s smallest Christmas record
Measuring only 40 micrometers in diameter, researchers at DTU Physics have made the smallest record ever cut. Featuring the first 25 seconds of the Christmas classic "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree," the single is cut using a new nano-sculpting ma.....»»
