 E-Mail IMAGE: The physics of massive nuclei can be studied by measuring the 'note' at which tidal resonance between merging neutron stars causes the solid crust of the neutron stars to shatter view more  Credit: University of Bath Space scientists at the University of Bath in the UK have found a new way to probe the internal structure of neutron stars, giving nuclear physicists a novel tool for studying the structures that make up matter at an atomic level. Neutron stars are dead stars that have been compressed by gravity to the size of small cities. They contain the most extreme m...

 E-Mail IMAGE: (a-b) Multimode interaction in a single optomechanical resonator creates an extensible synthetic gauge field; (c-e) Responses of optical photons and phonons in the cavity under different synthetic magnetic field intensities.... view more  Credit: CHEN Yuan et al. The research team led by Prof. GUO Guangcan and Dr. DONG Chunhua from the University of Science and Technology of China realized synthetic gauge fields in a single optomechanical resonator by controlling geometric phase with the multimode interaction in the micro-resonator. By engineering a Hamiltonian, uncha...

The team led by Professor DU Jiangfeng and Professor WANG Ya from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Key Laboratory of Microscale Magnetic Resonance of the University of Science and Technology of China put forward an innovative spin-to-charge conversion method to achieve high-fidelity readout of qubits, stepping closer towards fault-tolerant quantu...

 E-Mail IMAGE: An illustration of potassium atoms undergoing changes in fundamental characteristics such as radius, energy and electronegativity as they are compressed by surrounding neon atoms view more  Credit: Neuroncollective, Daniel Spacek, Pavel Travnicek A study from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has yielded new answers to fundamental questions about the relationship between the size of an atom and its other properties, such as electronegativity and energy. The results pave the way for advances in future material development. For the first time, it is now possibl...

 E-Mail IMAGE: A diagram of a nanowire cross-section shows the interaction between atoms in the nanowire core. Yellow atoms: germanium; red atoms: chromium; purple atoms around the outside of the yellow-red connections:... view more  Credit: Ranjit Pati/Michigan Tech The electron is one of the fundamental particles in nature we read about in school. Its behavior holds clues to new ways to store digital data. In a study published in Nano Letters, physicists from Michigan Technological University explore alternative materials to improve capacity and shrink the size of digital data ...
