Discovery May Help Identify Points Where Theories of Classical Electromagnetism and Quantum Mechanics Overlap

New understanding of the nature of electromagnetism could lead to antennas small enough to fit on computer chips – the ‘last frontier’ of semiconductor design – and could help identify the points where theories of classical electromagnetism and quantum mechanics overlap.

Light Brought to a Standstill by Coupling Atoms to Glass Fibers

Light is an extremely useful tool for quantum communication, but it has one major disadvantage: it usually travels at the speed of light and cannot be kept in place.

Large Amounts of Methyl Cyanide Observed in Protoplanetary Disc Surrounding Young Star

The new ALMA observations reveal that the protoplanetary disc surrounding the young star MWC 480 [1] contains large amounts of methyl cyanide (CH3CN), a complex carbon-based molecule. There is enough methyl cyanide around MWC 480 to fill all of Earth's oceans.

Gravitationally Lensed Galaxy Appears Like a Cosmic Ring

Astronomers have discovered that a distant galaxy -- seen from Earth with the aid of a gravitational lens -- appears like a cosmic ring, thanks to the highest resolution images ever taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).

New Stage Play Shows New Sides of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity

Robert Marc Friedman at the University of Oslo is creating theatre from scholarship in a new stage play entitled “Transcendence”, which shows new sides of Einstein’s theory of relativity

Fermilab Successfully Develops Twin-Aperture Accelerator Superconducting Magnet

Last month, a new superconducting magnet developed and fabricated at Fermilab reached its design field of 11.5 Tesla at a temperature nearly as cold as outer space. It is the first successful twin-aperture accelerator magnet made of niobium-3-tin in the world.

The Large Hadron Collider Begins its Second Run

Earlier today, the world’s most powerful particle accelerator began its second act. After two years of upgrades and repairs, proton beams once again circulated around the Large Hadron Collider, located at the CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland.

New Molecule Created with Large Permanent Dipole Moment

A proposed pathway to construct quantum computers may be the outcome of research by a University of Oklahoma physics team that has created a new molecule based on the interaction between a highly-excited type of atom known as a Rydberg atom and a ground-state atom. A unique property of the molecule is the large permanent dipole moment, which reacts with an electric field much like a bar magnet reacts with a magnetic field.

New Kind of Charge Transport Phenomenon

Researchers of Aalto and the German University of Marburg have collaborated in the study of the movement of charges over interfaces of semiconductor materials. The group noticed a new kind of transport phenomenon for charges. In the phenomenon, a pair formed by a negative electron and a positive charge moves onto an interface, after which its 'message' is passed on to the other side of the interface, where it is carried on by a similar pair. The new theoretical result opens up interesting prospects for carrying out logical operations in electronics.

Sheffield Scientists Hope to Make a Significant Breakthrough When the LHC Restarts

Scientists at the University of Sheffield are hoping their work will help to make a significant breakthrough in our understanding of the fundamental laws that govern the universe as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is set to be switched back on over Easter.
