The beam of light passes through a disordered medium and projects the same picture onto the detector that would be detected without the medium. Credit:…
An infrared laser pulse induces superconductivity at high temperatures in K3C60. After a prolonged excitation, this light-induced state becomes metastable for many nanoseconds. Credit: ©…
The Muon g-2 storage ring at Fermilab, where scientists conduct experiments to better understand the properties of the muon and probe the Standard Model of…
The long-awaited first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory show fundamental particles called muons behaving…
Artist’s conception of the mystery of the magnetic moment of the muon — a sub-atomic particle similar to, but heavier than, an electron (represented by…
Particle physicists use lattice quantum chromodynamics and supercomputers to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. Peer deeper into the heart of the atom than…
Researchers from Louisiana State University have introduced a smart quantum technology for the spatial mode correction of single photons. In a paper featured on the…
An international research team, led by Monash University, has discovered for the first time the mystery behind the formation of ‘coffee rings’ by examining the…
A single “super photon” made up of many thousands of individual light particles: About ten years ago, researchers at the University of Bonn produced such…
Physicists on the hunt for a rarely seen magnetic spin texture have discovered another object that bears its hallmarks, hidden in the structure of ultra-thin…
NIST researchers precisely compared the signals from three optical atomic clocks over air and optical fiber, with two of the clocks (indicated by Yb and…
An artistic illustration of the movement of an antihydrogen atom in the ALPHA magnetic trap, before (grey) and after (blue) laser cooling. The images show…
Shooting beams of ions at proton clouds, like throwing nuclear darts at the speed of light, can provide a clearer view of nuclear structure. Credit:…
Rotation of electron spins in superconductors of atomic-scale thickness may be used to make qubits for quantum computing. Superconductivity is known to be easily destroyed…
Berkeley Lab co-led collaboration with DESY and TU Freiberg brings us a step closer to more efficient photovoltaics and solar fuel systems. In the past…
An active carpet made of molecular motors (top) generates strong flows, which enhances the diffusion of nearby particles as modeled by the resulting flow fields…
The graphic visualizes quantum mechanical interference, also called the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect: A yellow and an orange photon hit a frequency mixer (white bar) from the…
The very first moments of the Universe can be reconstructed mathematically even though they cannot be observed directly. Physicists from the Universities of Göttingen and…
Two layers of a 2D-material are stacked, which influences the properties of the material. Credit: Erik Zumalt, Lukas Linhart 2D materials have triggered a boom…
