Nine new and exotic creatures for the pulsar zoo
Researchers using MeerKAT in South Africa have discovered nine millisecond pulsars, most of them in rare and sometimes unusual binary systems, as the first result of a targeted survey. An international team with significant contributions from AEI (Ha.....»»
Physicists discover new kind of tetraquark—the longest-lived yet found
The new particle has two charmed quarks, one up antiquark, and one down antiquark. Enlarge / An artist’s impression of Tcc+, a tetraquark composed of two charm quarks and an up and a down antiquark. (credit: CERN) The exotic family of partic.....»»
Exotic property of "ambidextrous" crystals points to new magnetic phenomena
Researchers from Skoltech, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and Uppsala University have predicted the existence of antichiral ferromagnetism, a nontrivial property of some magnetic crystals that opens the door to a variety of new magnetic phenomena.....»»
Mott insulator exhibits a sharp response to electron injection
In a finding that will give theorists plenty to ponder, an all-RIKEN team has observed an unexpected response in an exotic material known as a Mott insulator when they injected electrons into it. This observation promises to give physicists new insig.....»»
How headless hydra feel, react to prodding
Even the simplest creatures seem extraordinarily complex when you look beneath the surface. Fortunately, hydra make that part easy......»»
Intel"s Itanium is finally dead
Itanium was the offspring of a 1990's partnership between HP and Intel, back when the range of ISAs in use was far more diverse than the x86 and Arm titans of today. The IA-64 architecture was designed to push forward into the realms of then-exotic 6.....»»
Destiny 2 Beyond Light: Where to find Xur for the weekend of July 30

New Exotic Matter Particle, a Tetraquark, Discovered
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Phys.Org: Today, the LHCb experiment at CERN is presenting a new discovery at the European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics (EPS-HEP). The new particle discovered by LHCb, labeled as Tcc+, is.....»»
Superconductivity in high-Tc cuprates: "From maximal to minimal dissipation"—a new paradigm?
Researchers from the University of Bristol's School of Physics used some of Europe's strongest continuous magnetic fields to uncover evidence of exotic charge carriers in the metallic state of copper-oxide high-temperature superconductors (high-Tc cu.....»»

New X-ray pulsar discovered
Using ART-XC and eROSITA telescopes onboard the Spectrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG) mission, an international team of astronomers has detected a new pulsar. The newly found object, designated SRGA J204318.2+443815, turns out to be a long-period, faint X-ra.....»»

Future information technologies: Topological materials for ultrafast spintronics
The laws of quantum physics rule the microcosm. They determine, for example, how easily electrons move through a crystal and thus whether the material is a metal, a semiconductor or an insulator. Quantum physics may lead to exotic properties in certa.....»»
3D printed replicas reveal swimming capabilities of ancient cephalopods
University of Utah paleontologists David Peterman and Kathleen Ritterbush know that it's one thing to use math and physics to understand how ancient marine creatures moved through the water. It's another thing to actually put replicas of those creatu.....»»
Simulating microswimmers in nematic fluids
New research shows how control over self-propelled microswimmers could be achieved using exotic materials named 'nematic liquid crystals' - whose viscosity and elasticity can vary depending on the direction of an applied force......»»
Improving lab constraint on exotic spin interaction
Prof. Du Jiangfeng, Prof. Rong Xing, and their colleagues from the Key Laboratory of Micromagnetic Resonance, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have set the most stringent laboratory constra.....»»
Extreme Heat Has Killed an Estimated 1 Billion Small Sea Creatures
The combination of extreme heat and drought that has scorched the Western United States and Canada over the past two weeks has killed hundreds of millions of mussels, clams and other marine animals, the New York Times reports. From a report: An estim.....»»

Digging into the molecules of fossilized dinosaur eggshells
Dinosaurs roamed the Earth more than 65 million years ago, and paleontologists and amateur fossil hunters are still unearthing traces of them today. The minerals in fossilized eggs and shell fragments provide snapshots into these creatures' early liv.....»»
