A microscopic factory for small runners: New method uses magnetic loops for growth control
Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have developed a new method for controlling the growth of physical micro-runners. They used an external magnetic field to assemble paramagnetic colloidal spheres—i.e. only magnetic due to external influence.....»»
Scientists integrate solid-state spin qubits with nanomechanical resonators
In a new Physical Review Letters study, scientists propose a new method for combining solid-state spin qubits with nanomechanical resonators for scalable and programmable quantum systems......»»
Waterfall Security HERA secures OT environments
Waterfall Security launched HERA – Hardware Enforced Remote Access, a new technology designed to enable safe and secure remote access into cyber-physical systems and OT networks. HERA allows organizations to reap the operational and economical.....»»
Grain boundaries weaken in planetary interiors, research suggests
Mantle convection and associated plate tectonics of planets like the Earth are governed by the deformation of mantle rocks. This deformation occurs through the motion of defects in the crystal lattices of minerals. Thus, the physical properties of th.....»»

Physicists pool skills to better describe the unstable sigma meson particle
While nuclear physicists know the strong interaction is what holds together the particles at the heart of matter, we still have a lot to learn about this fundamental force. Results published earlier this year in Physical Review D by three researchers.....»»
Observing how light makes a metal—new details about the insulator-to-metal transition in a quantum material
With just the flick of a switch, quantum materials can undergo drastic changes. One notable example is the insulator-to-metal transition, a reversible physical phenomenon in which a material shifts from an insulating state, which will not conduct ele.....»»

What flavor is that neutrino? Adding flavor helps to track neutrino movement in astrophysical systems
Neutrinos have a quantum mechanical property called "flavor." This flavor can transform as neutrinos move through space. A major challenge is to keep track of both the physical movement of the neutrinos and their change of flavor in astrophysical sys.....»»
Belle II experiment reports the first direct measurement of tau-to-light-lepton ratio
The Belle II experiment is a large research effort aimed at precisely measuring weak-interaction parameters, studying exotic hadrons (i.e., a class of subatomic particles) and searching for new physical phenomena. This effort primarily relies on the.....»»
