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.....»»
Interior Department approves $1B to clean up abandoned wells
The Department of Interior is spending $1.15 billion to cap abandoned oil and gas wells across the United States......»»
Generating therapeutic high-energy proton radiation using laser-plasma interaction
Proton therapy is a precise and effective treatment for tumors in sensitive areas of the body, such as the brain or the eyes, with the advantage that it spares healthy tissue. In this procedure, protons (positively charged particles) are strongly acc.....»»
Review: MNT Reform laptop has fully open hardware and software—for better or worse
Slow ARM CPU almost single-handedly derails an intriguing laptop experiment. Enlarge / The MNT Reform, a boxy laptop built around maximally open-source hardware and software. (credit: Andrew Cunningham) Specs at a glance: M.....»»
New approach transports trapped ions to create entangling gates
Trapped ions excited with a laser beam can be used to create entangled qubits in quantum information systems, but addressing several stationary pairs of ions in a trap requires multiple optical switches and complex controls. Now, scientists at the Ge.....»»
How to Add Friends on Pinterest
Pinterest is more than just a great DIY platform. Sure, it’s fun having a collection of interior design ideas in a board. But wouldn’t it be great to be able to follow the designers themselves? Adding friends on Pinterest is perhaps the easiest w.....»»
2022 Wagoneer rocks a high-end, vast interior while guzzling hydrocarbons
Luxurious interior and quiet ride combine with disappointing mileage. Enlarge / The 2022 Wagoneer. Uncooperative weather forced us to rely on Stellantis media images for this review. (credit: Stellantis) Even as the automotive.....»»
Study finds river flows linked to the ups and downs of imperiled Chinook salmon population
A study led by Simon Fraser University researchers has discovered that sufficient water flows during summer can be critical to a Chinook salmon population in the interior of British Columbia......»»
For the first time, scientists rigorously calculate three-particle scattering from theory
The goal of nuclear physics is to describe all matter from its simplest building blocks: quarks and gluons. Found deep inside protons and neutrons, quarks and gluons also combine in less common configurations to make other subatomic particles of mat.....»»
Advances in theoretical modeling of atomic nuclei
The atomic nucleus is a tough nut to crack. The strong interaction between the protons and neutrons that make it up depends on many quantities, and these particles, collectively known as nucleons, are subject to not only two-body forces but also thre.....»»
Earth"s interior is cooling faster than expected
Researchers at ETH Zurich have demonstrated in the lab how well a mineral common at the boundary between the Earth's core and mantle conducts heat. This leads them to suspect that the Earth's heat may dissipate sooner than previously thought......»»
Ironing out the interiors of exoplanets
The discovery of more than 4,500 extra-solar planets has created a need for modelling their interior structure and dynamics. As it turns out, iron plays a key role......»»
New insight into the internal structure of the proton
While the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is well known for smashing protons together, it is actually the quarks and gluons inside the protons—collectively known as partons—that are really interacting. Thus, in order to predict the rate of a.....»»
Exploring oxygen ions in Jupiter"s innermost radiation belts
Planets like Earth, Jupiter and Saturn, with global magnetic fields of their own, are surrounded by so-called radiation belts: Trapped in the magnetic field, fast moving charged particles such as electrons, protons, and heavier ions whiz aroun, thus.....»»
Did a large impact remix the Moon’s interior?
New model suggests a big impact roiled the Moon's interior, altered its volcanism. Enlarge / The blue area is the basin formed by the largest impact on the Moon. Additional craters have formed by subsequent impacts. (credit: NASA/GSFC/.....»»
Entangled microwave photons may give 500x boost to radar
Stretched, entangled microwave pulses are the key. Enlarge (credit: NASA) Quantum radar has been on the… ahem… radar for a while now. Unfortunately, the theoretical and practical results from our explorations of the concep.....»»
Matter and antimatter seem to respond equally to gravity
As part of an experiment to measure—to an extremely precise degree—the charge-to-mass ratios of protons and antiprotons, the RIKEN-led BASE collaboration at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, has found that, within the uncertainty of the experiment, matt.....»»

Experiment finds evidence for a long-sought particle comprising four neutrons
While all atomic nuclei except hydrogen are composed of protons and neutrons, physicists have been searching for a particle consisting of two, three or four neutrons for over half a century. Experiments by a team of physicists of the Technical Univer.....»»
Natural infection and vaccination together provide maximum protection against COVID variants
