Scientists Discover Chiral Spin Mode of Electron Spins

Imagine two schools of fish that swim in circles in clockwise and counterclockwise directions. It will be highly confusing. At present, researchers from Rutgers University-New Brunswick as well as the University of Florida have found out the “chiral spin mode,” that is, oceans of electrons spinning in circles of opposite directions.

Theoretical Physicists Shed Light on Quantum Complexity Using Gravitational Twists

The answer to the question ‘Are we are living in a computer simulation?’ can be found hiding in an unusual quantum phenomenon which occurs in metals as a reaction to twists of space-time geometry.

Central Black Holes in Type I and Type II Active Galaxies Consume Matter at Different Rates

For decades, astronomers have made attempts to understand why two of the most common types of active galaxies, called Type I and Type II galaxies, appear different when viewed from Earth.

Scientists Demonstrate Emission of Entangled Photon Pairs from Quantum Dot

The potential for photon entanglement in quantum computing and communications has been known for decades. One of the issues impeding its immediate application is the fact that many photon entanglement platforms do not operate within the range used by most forms of telecommunication.
