Gigantic Flare Observed on Surface of Famous Red Giant Star

Super-sharp observations with the telescope Alma have revealed what seems to be a gigantic flare on the surface of Mira, one of the closest and most famous red giant stars in the sky. Activity like this in red giants - similar to what we see in the Sun - comes as a surprise to astronomers. The discovery could help explain how winds from giant stars make their contribution to our galaxy's ecosystem.

Researchers Demonstrate Peculiarity of One-Dimensional Quantum Systems

A quantum system never relaxes. An isolated system (like a cloud of cold atoms trapped in optical grids) will endlessly oscillate between its different configurations without ever finding peace.

LSST's Search for Dark Matter and Dark Energy Could Answer Fundamental Questions about the Universe

At a traditional stone-laying ceremony outside La Serena, Chile on April 14th, construction officially began of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). This ambitious international astrophysics project is slated to start scanning the heavens in 2022.

NEEM Research Station Moved 465km on Skis across Greenland Ice Sheet to New Camp

The entire research station NEEM has been moved 465 km across the Greenland ice sheet on skis to the new camp EGRIP, where there will be a future international drilling camp and a gateway to research programmes in East Greenland.

More Protons Than Neutrons Have High Momentum in Relatively Neutron-Rich Nuclei

Like dancers swirling on the dance floor with bystanders looking on, protons and neutrons that have briefly paired up inside an atom’s nucleus have a higher-than-average momentum, leaving less energy for non-paired nucleons.

Landmark Study Discovers Magnetic Properties of Phonons

Phonons--the elemental particles that transmit both heat and sound--have magnetic properties, according to a landmark study supported by Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) services and recently published by a researcher group from The Ohio State University.

Different Parity Check Gates Enable Efficient N-Particle W State Concentration

Entanglement is an important quantum resource in both quantum communication and computation. The applications of entanglement information processing such as quantum teleportation, quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum dense coding, quantum secret sharing (QSS), and quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) all resort the entanglement to set up the quantum channel between long distant locations.

Big Bang Theory Scholarship Endowment Raises Over $4 Million for STEM Students

A co-creator and the cast and crew of the hit television show “The Big Bang Theory” have endowed a scholarship fund at UCLA to provide financial aid to undergraduate students pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields.

Quantum Process Tomography Helps Characterize Unknown Quantum Processes

Scientists and engineers from the University of Bristol, UK, and the Centre for Quantum Technologies in Singapore have published work in the June issue of Optica. They demonstrate a new protocol for estimating unknown optical processes, called unitary operations, with precision enhanced by the unique properties of quantum mechanics. This could lead to both dramatically better sensors for medical research and new approaches to benchmark the performance ultra-powerful quantum computers.
