Pulsars are the magnetically charged remnants of a shattered neutron star that spin at speeds ranging from one to hundreds of rotations per second.
Scientists have developed a new theoretical model for preparing particle accelerator structures made of niobium metal. The model predicts how oxygen in the thin oxide layer on the surface of the niobium metal moves deeper into the metal.
When designing a next-generation quantum computer, a surprisingly large problem is bridging the communication gap between the classical and quantum worlds.
An international research team, including scientists at Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, have used a new observation technique to discover the brightest extragalactic pulsar known, and it could even be the most luminous one ever found.
Scattered across our Milky Way galaxy are tens of millions of black holes —immensely strong gravitational wells of spacetime, from which infalling matter, and even light, can never escape. Black holes are dark by definition, except on the rare occasions when they feed.
A solar flare can unleash enough energy to power the whole earth for 20,000 years in only minutes.
Double success for KIT: In its 2021 awarding round, the European Research Council (ERC) has decided to award an Advanced Grant each to computer scientist Mehdi Tahoori and physicist Alexey Ustinov.
Prof. LI Chuanfeng, Prof. XU Jinshi, Prof. HAN Yongjian, and their colleagues from Prof. GUO Guangcan's group at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have first synthesized a one-dimensional (1D) lattice via introducing photon's spin-orbit coupling in a cavity. This work was published in Nature Communications.
Associate professor Mazhar Ali and his research group at TU Delft have discovered one-way superconductivity without magnetic fields, something that was thought to be impossible ever since its discovery in 1911 – up till now.
At the atomic and subatomic scales, objects behave in ways that challenge the classical worldview based on day-to-day interactions with macroscopic reality.
Quantum weirdness is opening new doors for electron microscopes, powerful tools used for high-resolution imaging.
In physics, as in life, it's always good to look at things from different perspectives.
Quantum computing holds the potential to be a game-changing future technology in fields ranging from chemistry to cryptography to finance to pharmaceuticals.
Keysight Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of advanced design and validation solutions, and Singapore's Quantum Engineering Programme (QEP) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate in accelerating research, development and education in quantum technologies.
An international team of astronomers headed by Dr Benjamin Thomas of The University of Texas at Austin has utilized data from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) at the university’s McDonald Observatory to solve a puzzle regarding a star explosion that was detected some years ago and is still evolving.
