The experimental demonstration of topological dissipation in photonic resonators
So far, physicists have primarily studied topological phases in conservatively coupled systems. These are systems with dynamics that do not dissipate and a phase space that does not shrink over time. They are in stark contrast with dissipative system.....»»
Idaho a step closer to having largest research dairy in US
The University of Idaho's plan to build the nation's largest research dairy and experimental farm cleared a big hurdle on Tuesday......»»
Under pressure: Solid matter takes on new behavior
Investigating how solid matter behaves at enormous pressures, such as those found in the deep interiors of giant planets, is a great experimental challenge. To help address that challenge, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers and.....»»

The laser that will be the most powerful in the United States is preparing to send its first pulses into an experimental target at the University of Michigan......»»
Nature vs. laboratory: The differences between experimental evolution and natural adaptation
Humans have unwittingly been carrying out evolution experiments for millennia through the domestication of plants, animals, and fungi. Starting with the seminal experiments of William Dallinger in the late 19th century, such experiments have been per.....»»
A new experimental study tackles the unsolved mystery of "nanobubbles"
Nanobubbles are extremely small (i.e., nanoscopic) gaseous cavities that some physicists observed in aqueous solutions, typically after specific substances were dissolved in them. While some studies reported the observation of these incredibly tiny b.....»»
Nvidia and TSMC partner to develop silicon photonics solutions, sources say
TSMC is involved in an R&D project led by Nvidia to use its silicon photonic (SiPh) integration technology called COUPE (compact universal photonic engine) for graphics hardware to combine multiple AI GPUs, according to industry sources......»»

Taimide extends PI films to non-FPCBs
Taimide Tech has extended application of its polyimide (PI) films from flexible PCBs (FPCBs) to heat-dissipation materials, electric vehicle-use batteries and others, according to the company......»»
Full experimental determination of tunneling time with attosecond-scale streaking method
The question of how long a particle takes to tunnel through a potential barrier has sparked a long-standing debate since the early days of quantum mechanics. To solve this problem, scientists in China have proposed and demonstrated a novel attosecond.....»»
Dispersion coding of ENZ media via multiple photonic dopants
Media with small permittivity, i.e., the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) media, have drawn a great deal of attention from the fields of physics, materials science, and engineering. The wavelength in ENZ medium is in principle infinitely stretched, which indu.....»»
New insights into the interaction of topological insulators
Tungsten di-telluride (WTe2) has recently proven to be a promising material for the realization of topological states. These are regarded as the key to novel "spintronic" devices and quantum computers of the future due to their unique electronic prop.....»»
Researchers find novel topology-correlation interplay in toy model system built from iridate superlattice
In topological physics, band topology often originates from spin-orbit interaction, which gives rise to complex hopping parameters. While this approach has enjoyed great success in non-interacting or weakly interacting electronic materials, the conse.....»»
TikTok’s experimental third feed has been spotted out in the wild
TikTok is reportedly working on another feed. And it's likely to be location-based. Here's what we know so far......»»
