Figure 1: Moore and his colleagues measured the momentum kick imparted by a single gas molecule on an optically levitated silica nanoparticle (center) [2]. Thanks to the isolation offered by setups ...
Increasing the charging rate of a quantum battery leads to unavoidable fluctuations in the total energy stored. A quantum battery exploits quantum correlations between its component cells to achieve ...
Two studies find that fundamental quantum constraints rule out a previously proposed neutrino-laser scheme. In last year’s proposal of a neutrino laser, the researchers sought to exploit the same ...
New experiments suggest that superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene depends on an unconventional electron-pairing mechanism. Figure 1: Two twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) layers stacked one on ...
Figure 1: The beam pipe of the LHCb experiment at CERN. The beam pipe’s main function is to sustain an ultrahigh vacuum for the colliding proton beams while enabling particles produced in the ...
Figure 1: Barrios Hita and colleagues have explored a new path for developing a formulation of quantum theory that doesn’t rely on complex numbers [5]. In standard quantum theory, every physical ...
Figure 1: A cross section of the core of a collapsing star. Electron neutrinos (blue arrows) and muon and tau neutrinos (green arrows) are emitted and absorbed within all parts of the core. In the ...
Before determining the correct quantum theory of gravity, researchers need to know if gravity is actually quantized. Experiments testing that assumption are now being developed. Quantum fluctuations ...
A Bose-Einstein condensate of radioactive atoms could turn into a source of intense, coherent, and directional neutrino beams, according to a theoretical proposal. Figure 1: Top: At high temperature, ...
Top quarks and antiquarks have been detected in heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, showing that all six quark flavors were present in the Universe’s first moments. The ATLAS ...
DESI is installed on a telescope in Arizona, where it records spectra of 5000 celestial objects simultaneously. The new results come from measurements of nearly 15 million quasars and galaxies, but ...
The S 8 tension—a disagreement between cosmic-clumpiness measurements—is not going away, according to a new analysis of galaxy lensing data. Researchers have provided the latest estimates of the S 8 ...
