Environment Provides Fast Control of Atom-Optical System in Cavity Quantum ElectroDynamics

Control systems are ubiquitous, and as essential as they are easy to overlook. For instance, turning the dial on a thermostat feels as trivial as moving a piece on a board game, but this control system is actually quite complex.

Back and Forth may not be Equal Distances in Quantum Photonic Circuits

Quantum technology based on light (photons) has great potential for radically new information technology based on photonic circuits. Up to now, the photons in quantum photonic circuits have behaved in the same way whether they moved forward or backward in a photonic channel.

UCLA Astronomers Playing Important Roles in Development of Cherenkov Telescope Array

UCLA astronomy professors Rene Ong and Vladimir Vassiliev are playing important roles in an international initiative to build the world’s largest and most sensitive high-energy gamma-ray observatory, the Cherenkov Telescope Array.

Unprecedented Look at Cosmic Wind Eroding Gas and Dust at Leading Edge of the Galaxy

Astronomers have long known that powerful cosmic winds can sometimes blow through galaxies, sweeping out interstellar material and stopping future star formation. Now they have a clearer snapshot of how it happens.

Near-Earth-Sized Planet Discovered in Habitable Zone of Sun-Like Star

Today an international team of astronomers from NASA's Kepler mission have announced the discovery of a near-Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone of a Sun-like star.

Astronomers Discover Gigantic Black Hole Devouring Big Star

Using archival data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and the XMM-Newton and Chandra X-ray telescopes, a team of astronomers have discovered a gigantic black hole, which is probably destroying and devouring a big star in its vicinity.

Atomic Spins and Quantum Dot Spins Could be Combined into a Workable Quantum System

A big part of the burgeoning science of quantum computation is reliably storing and processing information in the form of quantum bits, or qubits.

Thin Layer of Organic Molecules Could Stabilize Magnetic Orientation of Cobalt Surface

Organic molecules allow producing printable electronics and solar cells with extraordinary properties. In spintronics, too, molecules open up the unexpected possibility of controlling the magnetism of materials and, thus, the spin of the flowing electrons.

Destructive High-Energy Electrons from Space Bombard Earth's Atmosphere

Potentially destructive high-energy electrons streak into Earth's atmosphere from space, not as Shakespeare's "gentle rain from heaven," but at velocities approaching the speed of light.

Astronomers Discover Jets of Material Ejected by Still-Forming Young Brown Dwarfs

Astronomers using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) have discovered jets of material ejected by still-forming young brown dwarfs. The discovery is the first direct evidence that brown dwarfs, intermediate in mass between stars and planets, are produced by a scaled-down version of the same process that produces stars.
