Interior of protons is maximally entangled
Fragments of the interior of a proton have been shown by scientists from Mexico and Poland to exhibit maximum quantum entanglement. The discovery, already confronted with experimental data, allows us to suppose that in some respects the physics of th.....»»
A hundred years of logging threatens the Innu link to their land
"Nutshimit," which means "the interior of the land," is Innu poet Joséphine Bacon's favorite word because it is intimately linked to Innu identity. Nutshimit, the place where the Innu soul is deposited, is what created the links with the land that h.....»»
How isotopes reveal insights into ecosystems
Isotopes of elements are like siblings. They have the same number of protons and electrons but a different number of neutrons than the primary form of the element. This difference in neutrons doesn't affect their chemical properties. Instead, it allo.....»»
Protons set to power next-generation memory devices
A proton-driven approach that enables multiple ferroelectric phase transitions sets the stage for ultralow power, high-capacity computer chips......»»
Researchers find 176 bird species using human-made materials in their nests—new research
Interactions between wildlife and plastic litter have been well documented in the sea. Think of seals entangled in netting or whales permanently attached to discarded fishing tackle, so-called "ghost gear.".....»»
Study reports melting curve of superionic ammonia under icy planetary interior conditions
Icy planets, such as Uranus (U) and Neptune (N), are found in both our solar system and other solar systems across the universe. Nonetheless, these planets, characterized by a thick atmosphere and a mantle made of volatile materials (e.g., hydrogen w.....»»
Nuclear charge distribution measurements may solve outstanding puzzle in particle physics
What scientists call the "nuclear weak distribution" describes the distribution of "active" protons in a nucleus. These are protons that are eligible to transition into neutrons through what scientists call the "weak interaction.".....»»
Why does matter exist? Roundness of electrons may hold clues
In the first moments of our universe, countless numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons formed alongside their antimatter counterparts. As the universe expanded and cooled, almost all these matter and antimatter particles met and annihilated each.....»»
Beamline innovation could enhance the potential of cancer treatment with proton therapy
Physicists have devised a way to achieve higher doses and shorter treatment times for cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy with protons, circumventing the problems of internal organ motions. They achieve this using a modification in the beamline,.....»»
Research team solves the riddle of the viscosity jump in the Earth"s lower mantle
An international research team led by Prof. Dr. Tomoo Katsura at the Bavarian Research Institute of Experimental Geochemistry and Geophysics, University of Bayreuth, has discovered why rocks in the Earth's interior suddenly become more viscous at dep.....»»
Experimental constraints on the oxidation state of early magma on the Earth
The link between a planetary interior and its surface is a key to understanding the formation process of the surface environment of the planet......»»
Researchers discover Gulf Stream thermal fronts controlling North Atlantic subtropical mode water formation
Subtropical mode water (STMW) is a vertically homogeneous thermocline water mass, serving as heat, carbon, and oxygen silos in the ocean interior and providing memory of climate variability for climate prediction. Understanding physics governing STMW.....»»
Discovering evidence of superradiance in the alpha decay of mirror nuclei
Scientists refer to atomic nuclei as "quantum many-body systems" because they are formed by many particles (nucleons, which include neutrons and protons) that interact with each other in complex ways. Nuclei can absorb energy, placing them into excit.....»»
Research team reports on discovery of grain-interior planar defects induced by heteroatom monolayer
In collaboration with the Institute of Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IPCAS), researchers from Beijing University of Technology (BJUT) have discovered a new type of grain-interior planar defect in a ceramic phase in TiC doped cemented tu.....»»
Research reveals sources of carbon dioxide from Aleutian-Alaska Arc volcanoes
Scientists have wondered what happens to the organic and inorganic carbon that Earth's Pacific Plate carries with it as it slides into the planet's interior along the volcano-studded Ring of Fire......»»
5 cool things about Kia"s new EV9 electric crossover
Kia wants its new EV9 electric crossover to move the brand image up-market while reeling in customers from rivals. The roomy interior should land the EV9 on plenty of shopping lists. So should its 800-volt charging, 99.8-kWh battery option and all-wh.....»»
Research team shows that a cell"s membrane can be reversibly deformed with light
Membranes fulfill a variety of tasks in living cells: for example, they separate the cells from their surroundings and thus protect them. Also, by means of transport proteins they convey the necessary nutrients to the interior. Membranes are also ins.....»»
Researcher discovers new type of atomic nucleus
An experiment performed in the Accelerator Laboratory of University of Jyväskylä, Finland, has succeeded in producing a previously unknown atomic nucleus, 190-Astatine, consisting of 85 protons and 105 neutrons. The nucleus is the lightest isotope.....»»
Scientists describe a novel way to manipulate exotic materials
An advance in a topological insulator material—whose interior behaves like an electrical insulator but whose surface behaves like a conductor—could revolutionize the fields of next-generation electronics and quantum computing, according to scient.....»»
