Scientists to Develop Modeling, Simulation Applications for Nuclear and High-Energy Physics and Chemistry Research

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory will play major roles in two of the 15 fully funded application development proposals recently selected by the DOE's Exascale Computing Project (ECP) in its first-round funding of $39.8 million. Seven other proposals received seed funding.

Stability of Qubits Could be Maintained Effectively in Silicon than in Gallium Arsenide

The power of future quantum computers stems from the use of qubits, or quantum bits, which do not have to be either 0 or 1, but can also be 0 and 1 at the same time. It is not yet clear on which technology these qubits in quantum computers will be based, but qubits based on electron spins are looking more and more promising.

New Mathematical Model Could Help Understand How Type Ia Supernovae Form

A new mathematical model created by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History details a way that dead stars called white dwarfs could detonate, producing a type of explosion that is instrumental to measuring the extreme distances in our universe.

Scientists Use New PIC Simulator to Explore Basic Mechanisms of Magnetic Reconnection in Space Plasma

Phenomena like solar flares and auroras are consequences of magnetic reconnection in the near-Earth space. These "magnetic reconnection" events are akin to magnetic explosions that accelerate particles as they rapidly change the topology of the magnetic field lines.

New AVA Research and Training Network Looks at Mysterious Particles

Professor Carsten P. Welsch of the Cockcroft Institute and Head of the Physics Department at the University of Liverpool explains that a new research and training network called AVA, ‘Accelerators Validating Antimatter physics’, is looking at the mysterious particles that are thought to mirror those in the ‘real’ world.

ALMA Discovers Stunning Spiral-Shape Pinwheel of Dust Around Young Star Elias 2-27

Swirling around the young star Elias 2-27 is a stunning spiral-shape pinwheel of dust. This striking feature, seen with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), is the product of density waves – gravitational perturbations in the star's protoplanetary disk that produce sweeping arms reminiscent of a spiral galaxy, but on a much smaller scale.
