Zeroing in on a fundamental property of the proton"s internal dynamics
Inside the proton are elementary particles called quarks. Quarks and protons have an intrinsic angular momentum called spin. Spin can point in different directions. When it is perpendicular to the proton's momentum, it is called a transverse spin. Ju.....»»
New quantum optics technique sheds light on polariton interactions
An international collaboration, led by Macquarie University scientists, has introduced a new quantum optics technique that can provide unprecedented access to the fundamental properties of light-matter interactions in semiconductors......»»

US–Indian satellite will monitor Earth"s changing frozen regions
NISAR, the soon-to-launch radar satellite from NASA and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), will measure some key Earth vital signs, from the health of wetlands to ground deformation by volcanoes to the dynamics of land and sea ice......»»
Joking apart: What men and women find funny
Men rate visual jokes more highly than women do, whereas women prefer jokes that involve political commentary or the dynamics of close relationships, a new study of print cartoons dating from 1930-2010 finds......»»
Shape matters: Study finds microplastic fibers may travel as far as the stratosphere
How far microplastics travel in the atmosphere depends crucially on particle shape, according to a recent study by scientists at the University of Vienna and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen. Although spherica.....»»
Creating novel amino acid nanoparticles with enhanced anticancer activity
Amino acids, such as tyrosine and tryptophan, are the fundamental building blocks that make up proteins. These biomolecules have different chemical groups on each end and side chain, and so, have the natural ability to form a chain through the format.....»»
Intel’s CPU branding was already confusing, and today’s new CPUs made it worse
Some are 14th-gen Core and some are Core (Series 1), but they're the same thing. Enlarge / Intel's Core chips are here, and they have dropped the i and the 14th-generation branding. But unlike the Core Ultra, they are fundamental.....»»
Multi-point temperature measurements in packed beds using phosphor thermometry and ray tracing simulations
A team of researchers has proposed an indirect optical method for determining internal temperatures of opaque packed beds based on phosphor thermometry. This method enables simultaneous multi-point measurements using an image-based separation of the.....»»
The most massive neutron stars probably have cores of quark matter
Atoms are made of three things: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Electrons are a type of fundamental particle, but protons and neutrons are composite particles made of up and down quarks. Protons have 2 ups and 1 down, while neutrons have 2 downs an.....»»
Car dealers get more time to file U.S. EV tax credit paperwork
U.S. car dealers will have more time to report sales of electric vehicles that qualify for federal tax credits that they are offering directly to customers, the Internal Revenue Service announced......»»

Reynolds and Reynolds acquired Proton last year, in the wake of growing cybersecurity needs and compliance requirements......»»
Fossil birds: Surfaces of cervical vertebrae show conspicuous tubercles that may have served as "internal bony armor"
An international research team has examined unusual skeletal structures of various European bird fossils from the Eocene. The bone surfaces of the approximately 40- to 50-million-year-old cervical vertebrae show conspicuous tubercles, whose origin as.....»»
Evidence of ancient medieval feasting rituals uncovered in grounds of historic property
An early medieval cemetery has been discovered within the grounds of Fonmon Castle, near Barry, South Wales......»»
Researchers propose conditions for maximizing quantum entanglement
Entanglement is a property of quantum physics that is manifested when two or more systems interact in such a way that their quantum states cannot be described independently. In the terminology of quantum physics, they are said to be entangled, i.e. s.....»»
Progress in the investigation of ultrafast electron dynamics using short light pulses
When electrons move within a molecule or semiconductor, this occurs on unimaginably short time scales. A Swedish-German team, including Dr. Jan Vogelsang from the University of Oldenburg, has now made significant progress towards a better understandi.....»»
New theoretical framework unlocks mysteries of synchronization in turbulent dynamics
Weather forecasting is important for various sectors, including agriculture, military operations, and aviation, as well as for predicting natural disasters like tornados and cyclones. It relies on predicting the movement of air in the atmosphere, whi.....»»
