Mystery object caused by spontaneous symmetry breaking revealed
Theoretical clarification of a mysterious object (topological defect*1) recently observed in experiments regarding spontaneous symmetry breaking. The existence of a new topological defect called...
Subatomic particle seen changing to antiparticle and back
An extraordinarily precise measurement made by Oxford researchers using the LHCb experiment at CERN has provided the first evidence that charm mesons can change into their...
A new material made from carbon nanotubes can generate electricity by...
Engineers have discovered a new way of generating electricity using tiny carbon particles that can create a current simply by interacting with liquid surrounding...
World’s smallest, best acoustic amplifier emerges from 50-year-old hypothesis
Research funded by by Sandia's Laboratory Directed Research and Development program and the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies develops world's smallest and best acoustic amplifier...
Researchers see atoms at record resolution
A new high-powered electron microscope developed by researchers from Cornell University sets a new world record as having the most fine-tuned resolution. This latest...
Unexpected ‘Black Swan’ defect discovered in soft matter for first time
Scientists discover the soft matter defect named the "twin defect" that occurs in soft matter systems, like oils, surfactants, biological materials and natural polymers using an advanced...
Quantum machine learning hits a limit
Quantum machine learning was a terra incognita. But not anymore?
A new theorem of quantum machine learning shows that information run through an information...
New evidence for electron’s dual nature found in a quantum spin...
A new study about electron’s dual nature breaks the rules of elementary physics. Researchers discover experimental evidence that electrons behave as if they are...
