Unique Platform to Study Link Between Superconductivity and Ferromagnetism in Fe-Based Superconductors

High-temperature (Tc) superconductivity essentially originates from antiferromagnetic insulators, and ferromagnetism and superconductivity are always contradictory to each other.

Messier 90 Observed to be Traveling Toward Milky Way by Hubble

Messier 90, a splendid spiral galaxy located approximately 60 million light-years from the Milky Way galaxy in the constellation of Virgo (the Virgin), is part of the Virgo Cluster, a collection of more than 1200 galaxies.

New Molecular Resonances Could Enable Quantum Simulation of Many Body Systems

At the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics (MPQ), physicists have successfully created massive diatomic molecules and later detected them optically with the help of a high-resolution objective.

Astronomers Detect Elusive Giant Planets in Outer Space

Astronomers consider that planets such as Jupiter protect humans on the Earth from space objects that would otherwise smash into Earth.

New Vapor Stabilizing Method Allows Electrons to be Used for Quantum Computing and High-Precision Measurements

Researchers at the University of Bath have patented a novel method for stabilizing the density of alkali metal vapor through gold nanoparticles.

Breakthrough Study Demonstrates the Geometry of a Single Electron in an Artificial Atom

For the first time, physicists at the University of Basel have demonstrated the geometry of a single electron in an artificial atom.

Using Evidence of Chemical Composition of Stars in Milky Way to Accurately Pinpoint Gaia Sausage’s Age

New information related to a galaxy called the Gaia Sausage are being unraveled by using chemical traces in the atmospheres of stars. Billions of years ago, this galaxy was involved in a huge collision with the Milky Way galaxy.

Combination of Quantum Dots and Perovskite Crystals can Improve the Stability of Solar Materials

Engineering researchers at the University of Toronto have integrated two evolving technologies for sophisticated solar power—and found that each one aids in stabilizing the other.

Scientists Investigate the Excitation and Detection of Photogenerated Coherent Phonons in GaAs

Researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology and Keio University studied the excitation and detection of photogenerated coherent phonons in polar semiconductor GaAs using an ultrafast dual pump-probe laser for quantum interferometry.

New Statistical Technique to Infer Progress of Star Formation Within Molecular Clouds

Inside interstellar clouds of dust and gas, or what are called molecular clouds, star formation progresses at a highly rapid rate yet it is highly “inefficient.”

Experiment Creates New Material that can Conduct Electricity Flawlessly

Scientists at the University of Chicago are part of a global research team that has discovered superconductivity—the ability to conduct electricity flawlessly—at maximum temperatures ever documented.

Study Finds that Photon Pairs Could be Used for Secure Transmission of Data

Quantum physics could be used to guarantee secure information technology in the future. In order to realize this, photons—individual particles of light—are used to securely transmit data.

Astronomers from Bonn and Moscow Discover Extremely Rare Stellar Merger Product

Astronomers from the University of Bonn and their collaborators from Moscow have discovered a strange celestial object. It is most probably the outcome of the fusion of two stars that died a long time ago.

Curtin Scientists Use Giant Telescope on Sea Floor to Study Rays from Space

Curtin University researchers are part of an international project that will use a huge underwater neutrino telescope at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea to help explain some of the most powerful and mysterious events in the universe.

Physicists Reveal Magnetic Properties of Iron-Based Superconductors Through Neutron Scattering Experiments

Iron selenide is a superhero in the realm of uncommon superconductors. However, new experiments conducted by the U.S., European, and Chinese physicists have revealed that the magnetic properties of the material are astonishingly ordinary.
