Spin correlation between paired electrons demonstrated
Physicists at the University of Basel have experimentally demonstrated for the first time that there is a negative correlation between the two spins of an entangled pair of electrons from a superconductor. For their study, the researchers used spin f.....»»
Powering nitrogenases: Researchers find new targets for improving biocatalysts
Nitrogenases are considered promising candidates for the sustainable enzymatic production of ammonia and carbon compounds. Unfortunately, one bottleneck in this complex process, the supply of electrons to the enzymes, has remained a mystery until now.....»»
Age of Empires is Arriving for Mobile Platforms, but with a Catch
World's Edge studio and TiMi Studio Group announced they are collaborating on the mobile spin-off. The post Age of Empires is Arriving for Mobile Platforms, but with a Catch appeared first on Phandroid. The “Age of Empire” game.....»»
Electrons become fractions of themselves in graphene, study finds
The electron is the basic unit of electricity, as it carries a single negative charge. This is what we're taught in high school physics, and it is overwhelmingly the case in most materials in nature......»»
Smallest star ever observed is part of an exotic binary system
A large international team of astronomers has discovered the smallest known star to date, and found that it is paired with another, somewhat larger star. Their paper is published in the journal Nature Astronomy,......»»
Spintronics research finds magnetic state of certain materials can be switched using surface induced strain
Electronics are based on electrical charges being transported from one place to another. Electrons move, current flows, and signals are transmitted by applying an electrical voltage. However, there is also another way to manipulate electronic current.....»»
Quantum dark states lead to an advantage in noise reduction
While atomic clocks are already the most precise timekeeping devices in the universe, physicists are working hard to improve their accuracy even further. One way is by leveraging spin-squeezed states in clock atoms......»»
This Knife Throwing Machine Guarantees A Bullseye
Knife throwing is both an art and a skill that’s difficult to master. It takes both hand-eye coordination and just the right spin to embed the knife into a target, and the longer the distance, the more power and spin are needed. While movies m.....»»
Study finds new inhalable therapy is a big step forward in lung cancer research
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers and has one of the lowest survival rates in the world. Cytokines, which are small signaling proteins, such as interleukin-12 (IL-12), have demonstrated considerable potential as robust tumor suppressors......»»
Uncovering the physics of how electrons screen against conductivity-killer in organic semiconductors
California's Silicon Valley and Utah's Silicon Slopes are named for the element most associated with semiconductors, the backbone of the computer revolution. Anything computerized or electronic depends on semiconductors, a substance with properties t.....»»
Altermagnetism experimentally demonstrated
Ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism have long been known to scientists as two classes of magnetic order of materials. Back in 2019, researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) postulated a third class of magnetism, called altermagnetis.....»»
Study shows how proteins guide electrons to the right place
Cells need energy to function. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg can now explain how energy is guided in the cell by small atomic movements to reach its destination in the protein. Imitating these structural changes of the proteins could le.....»»
Nanomedicine paves the way for new treatments for spinal cord injury
In a study published in Advanced Materials, researchers have demonstrated that an innovative nano-vector (nanogel), which they developed, is able to deliver anti-inflammatory drugs in a targeted manner into glial cells actively involved in the evolut.....»»
Researchers solve a foundational problem in transmitting quantum information
Future quantum electronics will differ substantially from conventional electronics. Whereas memory in the latter is stored as binary digits, the former is stored as qubits, which can take many forms, such as entrapped electrons in nanostructures know.....»»
Raspberry Pi Bitlocker hack is a new spin on a years-old, well-documented exploit
Exploit works on PCs with discrete TPM chips, which are rarer in modern systems. Enlarge / A $10 Raspberry Pi Pico-based TPM sniffing tool, designed to grab the Bitlocker disk encryption keys from some models of Lenovo laptop. (.....»»
How semiconductor defects could boost quantum technology
In diamonds (and other semiconducting materials), defects are a quantum sensor's best friend. That's because defects, essentially a jostled arrangement of atoms, sometimes contain electrons with an angular momentum, or spin, that can store and proces.....»»
Study finds that Oura Ring data helps pinpoint depressive states
In 2020, a group of California researchers wanted to see if fitness trackers, such as the Oura Ring, could detect early signs and symptoms of COVID-19 (spoiler: they can). What the study also found, however, was a correlation between the depressive s.....»»
Researchers provide genetic explanations for shade-induced biomass allocation in wheat
Recent studies have shown a strong correlation between responses to plant density and low light, indicating that the scarcity of light is often a limiting factor in high-density crop communities......»»
Quantum materials: A new state of matter with chiral properties
An international research group has discovered a new state of matter characterized by the existence of a quantum phenomenon called chiral current. These currents are generated on an atomic scale by a cooperative movement of electrons, unlike conventi.....»»
Hall effect uncovers hidden symmetry in spin-ice
Physicists from the University of Augsburg succeeded in distinguishing chiral orders with similar magnetization but an opposite sense of rotation through electrical measurements at low temperatures. This is relevant for fundamental research on comple.....»»
