Researchers Entangle Three Particles of Light in High-Dimensional Quantum Property

Researchers at the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, the University of Vienna, and the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona have achieved a new milestone in quantum physics: they were able to entangle three particles of light in a high-dimensional quantum property related to the 'twist' of their wavefront structure. The results from their experiment appear in the journal Nature Photonics.

NASA’s MAVEN Mission Helps Planetary Scientists Understand Origin of Martian Moon Phobos

NASA scientists are closer to solving the mystery of how Mars’ moon Phobos formed.

Scientists Characterize Quantum Hall Effect in Photonic System

Light and matter are not totally different with regard to quantum physics. In specific situations, electrons that are negatively charged can combine together and form a coordinated dance permitting them to carry a current across an imperfect material. That motion, which takes place only if the electrons are restricted to a 2D plane, emerges as a result of a phenomenon referred to as the quantum Hall effect.

Scientists Resolve Thermoelectric ‘Paradox’ in Superconducting Materials

A problem that has been taxing scientists for nearly 40 years has been solved by a team of physicists at Royal Holloway, University of London.

NASA’s IBEX Helps Determine Strength and Direction of Magnetic Field Outside Heliosphere

Immediately after its 2008 launch, NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer, or IBEX, spotted a curiosity in a thin slice of space: More particles streamed in through a long, skinny swath in the sky than anywhere else. The origin of the so-called IBEX ribbon was unknown – but its very existence opened doors to observing what lies outside our solar system, the way drops of rain on a window tell you more about the weather outside.

MIT Scientist David Shoemaker Testifies on Importance of LIGO Before Congress

LIGO’s recent detection of gravitational waves marks the beginning of a new era for astrophysics, and further insights into black holes, neutron stars, supernovae, and other phenomena are expected before long, MIT LIGO Laboratory Director David Shoemaker told members of Congress this week.

Researchers Accurately Detect Structure in Innermost Region of Distant Quasar

A team of Spanish researchers, with the participation of the University of Granada (UGR), has accurately detected a structure in the innermost region of a quasar (small, very far objects that emit huge amounts of energy, comparable to that emitted by a whole galaxy) at a distance of more than five billion light-years from Earth.

Dark Holes Could Contain as Much as 20% of Normal Matter in Cosmos

We live in a universe dominated by unseen matter, and on the largest scales, galaxies and everything they contain are concentrated into filaments that stretch around the edge of enormous voids.

NSF-Funded Comet Supercomputer Helps Confirm Existence of Gravitational Waves

This month’s announcement by the National Science Foundation (NSF) that scientists for the first time detected gravitational waves in the universe as hypothesized by Albert Einstein 100 years ago has opened up a new era of exploration for astronomers and astrophysicists.
