Light has always been a vital component in human life, dating back to the discovery of fire. Over the years, humans have evolved various artificial light sources to meet the growing demand for illumination. Artificial lights, such as incandescent lamps, gaslights, discharge lamps, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), play a crucial role in our daily lives.

In a world where digital technology seems to dominate every aspect of our lives, it may come as a surprise that printing technology still plays a crucial role in the development of new innovations. While many may assume that the age of printing is behind us, a team of researchers from Osaka Metropolitan University is

An international research collaboration between Germany’s Forschungszentrum Jülich and Korea’s IBS Center for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS) has achieved a groundbreaking milestone in the field of quantum technology. The research team has successfully developed a quantum sensor capable of detecting minute magnetic fields at the atomic-length scale. This innovative sensor represents a significant advancement in the

The concept of two-dimensional materials has revolutionized the field of physics, leading to surprising discoveries and new insights. When a material is reduced to just one or two layers of molecules, it undergoes a remarkable transformation. The properties of these ultra-thin materials differ significantly from their bulk counterparts, opening up a world of possibilities for

The team of researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has recently made significant progress in addressing the long-standing “drive-deficit” problem in indirect-drive inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments. This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize fusion energy experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). The study, led by physicist Hui Chen, Tod Woods, and their

Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) serves as the theoretical framework for delving into the intricate forces at play within atomic nuclei and the particles that make them up. One of the key areas of study within QCD involves unraveling how quarks and gluons are encapsulated within nucleons such as protons and neutrons. It is important to note

Rare earth magnetic materials are known for their unique and strong magnetic properties, which are attributed to the behavior of 4f electrons in their structure. Traditionally, it was believed that these 4f electrons were extremely difficult to control. However, a recent breakthrough by a team of researchers from HZB, Freie Universität Berlin, and other institutions

The University of Illinois Chicago has released groundbreaking research revealing a hidden aspect of the impact of underwater oil spills. The traditional belief that oil spills result in a surface slick may not tell the whole story. Instead, oil droplets break apart underwater, forming smaller droplets that remain suspended in the water. A team of

At the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, major physics experiments like the Large Hadron Collider require careful planning and execution every year. The reset process of the largest experiment, ATLAS, involves a collaborative effort by engineers and physicists to ensure that the equipment is calibrated properly. The LHC explores the hidden world of subatomic

The physicists at the University of Stuttgart, led by Prof. Sebastian Loth, have made a significant breakthrough in the field of quantum microscopy. Their innovative method now allows them to observe the movement of electrons at the atomic level with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. This groundbreaking technique has the potential to revolutionize material development

In a groundbreaking development, scientists have put forth a novel method for implementing neural networks using optical systems. This innovative approach, detailed in a recent article published in Nature Physics by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, promises to revolutionize the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence. With the

A recent study conducted by researchers from the HEFTY Topical Collaboration delved into the recombination of charm and bottom quarks into Bc mesons within the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Through the development of a transport model, these scientists were able to simulate the kinetics of heavy-quark bound states within the expanding QGP fireball that is created

The field of quantum computing has taken a significant leap forward thanks to a team of experimental physicists from the University of Cologne. Their groundbreaking research has demonstrated the ability to generate superconducting effects in materials with unique edge-only electrical properties. This discovery has opened up a new avenue for exploring advanced quantum states that

Time crystals, a concept proposed by Nobel Prize winner Frank Wilczek in 2012, have been the subject of much controversy within the scientific community. Unlike traditional crystals which repeat in space, time crystals are expected to repeat in time. The question of whether such a phenomenon could exist, and how it could be realized, has

In a recent study published in Physical Review Letters, a research team led by academician Guo Guangcan, Prof. Li Chuanfeng, and Prof. Liu Biheng from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) collaborated with Prof. Giulio Chiribella from the University of Hong Kong to construct a coherent superposition of quantum evolution with two
