Curtin Research Reveals tsunami Followed Dinosaur-killing Asteroid

Curtin University researchers who were part of a scientific expedition that retrieved core samples from a crater in the Gulf of Mexico have found evidence that the asteroid that caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs also triggered a giant tsunami.

Deciphering the Surface Electronic Structure of Topological Insulators

Some materials, such as copper, are good conductors of electricity. However other materials, such as glass, are poor conductors. A specific type of material, known as a topological insulator, behaves as a conductor at its surface and as an insulator in its interior.

Highest-Ever Magnetic Strength for Accelerator Steering Magnet Achieved

Researchers require the strongest magnets possible to create the future generation of robust proton accelerators. This is because they have to steer particles close to the speed of light around a ring.

Researchers Successfully Map Topography of Both Magnetic Poles of a Pulsar

For the first time, scientists have successfully mapped the topography of a pulsar’s both magnetic poles. This was made feasible by an effect of gravity described by Einstein’s theory of general relativity.

Controllable Quantum Superposition of Complementary States of Light Created

A group of Chinese researchers from Nanjing University has achieved a controllable quantum superposition of the two complementary states of light—as a particle and as a wave.

Experiments Designed to Measure Neutrino Mass with Increased Sensitivity

In a pursuit to show that it is possible to produce matter without antimatter, the GERDA experiment carried out at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory is searching for signs of neutrinoless double beta decay.

Presence of Dynamical Charge Density Fluctuations in Superconductors Revealed

Superconductivity can be used to arrest the loss of energy during the transfer from power plants to homes. However, achieving this requires the lines to be cooled to temperatures that are extremely low, rendering wide-scale use of superconductors unprofitable at the moment.
