Breakthrough Discovery Provides Important New Clues About Causes of Type Ia Supernovae

Some supernovae have a reserve tank of radioactive fuel that cuts in and powers their explosions for three times longer than astronomers had previously thought.

Study Results Confirm Successful Transformation of Star to Brown Dwarf is Possible

Astronomers have detected a sub-stellar object that used to be a star, after being consumed by its white dwarf companion.

Brandeis Experimental High Energy Physics Group Resumes Research at LHC

At the end of April, Brandeis professor of physics Gabriella Sciolla traveled to Switzerland to resume her research at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which was shutdown in December for repairs and upgrades.

A New Strategy for Modeling Quantum Friction

Princeton University’s theoretical chemists have initiated a technique for modeling quantum friction, or how the environment of a particle drags on it, an annoying problem in quantum mechanics ever since the start of the field. This research has been reported in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.

Scientists Take Another Step Toward Quantum Computing

Quantum computers could allow biochemists to simulate new molecular properties to create novel drugs in ways that would take the fastest existing computers decades.

Researchers Propose a Physical Layout for Using Aharonov-Casher Effect

Quantum computers hold great potential, but they remain hard to build because their basic components—individual quantum systems like atoms, electrons or photons—are fragile. A relentless and noisy background constantly bombards the computer’s data.

Scientists Efficiently Simulate Quantum Walk on New Design for Primitive Quantum Computer

Scientists and engineers from the Universities of Bristol and Western Australia have developed how to efficiently simulate a “quantum walk” on a new design for a primitive quantum computer.

LHC Expected to Produce Roughly 2 Quadrillion High-Quality Proton Collisions this Year

After months of winter hibernation, the Large Hadron Collider is once again smashing protons and taking data. The LHC will run around the clock for the next six months and produce roughly 2 quadrillion high-quality proton collisions, six times more than in 2015 and just shy of the total number of collisions recorded during the nearly three years of the collider’s first run.

Researchers Study Pairing Mechanism in Iron-Based Superconductors

The superconducting transition temperature is a point above which a material exhibiting superconductivity becomes a normal conductor. Researchers are striving to raise the superconducting transition temperature so practical applications can be realized.
