New Theoretical Framework to Identify Computations Occupying Quantum Frontier

A new theoretical framework to identify computations that occupy the 'quantum frontier' has been developed by a team of researchers from the UK and Australia. The 'quantum frontier' refers to the boundary at which problems become impossible for the presently available computers and can only be solved with the help of a quantum computer.

First Measurements of Small-Scale Ripples in Primeval Hydrogen Gas Using Rare Double Quasars

The far-flung corners of intergalactic space are lonely places, barren of much else but atoms. In these vast expanses between the galaxies, only atoms — a haze of hydrogen gas left over from the Big Bang — occupy solitary cubes one meter on a side.

Researchers Release World-First Images of Electric Currents in Graphene

As a boost to the development of next-generation electronics, a team of researchers at the University of Melbourne have proved to be the first in the world to image how electrons move in two-dimensional graphene.

New Way to Mathematically Describe Non-Equilibrium Phase Transitions

Imaginary numbers are a solution to a very real problem in a study published today in Scientific Reports.

New Surveys Reveal Milky Way is More Efficient at Mixing Contents than Previously Thought

As galaxies age, some of their basic chemical elements can also show signs of aging. This aging process can be seen as certain atoms “put on a little weight,” meaning they change into heavier isotopes — atoms with additional neutrons in their nuclei.

New Efficient Technique for Producing Hydrogen Fuel by Using Solar Energy

There has been extensive ongoing research to minimize our reliance on fossil fuels, including highly efficacious production of gaseous hydrogen fuel by disintegrating water into hydrogen and oxygen using solar energy.

Scientists Publish Results of a Study of Unique Ultra-Slow Pulsar XB091D

The Lomonosov Moscow State University scientists published the results of a study of the unique ultra-slow pulsar XB091D. This neutron star is believed to have captured a companion only a million years ago and since then, has been slowly restoring its rapid rotation. The young pulsar is located in one of the oldest globular star clusters in the Andromeda galaxy, where the cluster may once have been a dwarf galaxy.

IBS Researchers Model Behavior of Polaritons in Microcavities

Everything we experience is made of light and matter. And the interaction between the two can bring about fascinating effects. For example, it can result in the formation of special quasiparticles, called polaritons, which are a combination of light and matter.

Researchers Find Way to Pack Hydrocarbons Together to Create Quantum Spin Liquid

Fuel such as petrol is made up of hydrocarbons -- a family of molecules consisting entirely of carbon and hydrogen. Pigment and dye, coal and tar are made up of hydrocarbons too.

Scientists Achieve First-Ever Direct Observation of Chiral Currents in 2D Integer Quantum Hall System

Using an atomic quantum simulator, scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have achieved the first-ever direct observation of chiral currents in the model topological insulator, the 2-D integer quantum Hall system.

Study on the Complexity of Quantum Mechanics

Physicists have tested whether quantum mechanics needs a more complex set of mathematical rules by searching for deviations from standard quantum mechanics. To do so a team of researchers headed by Philip Walther at the University of Vienna used exotic metamaterials to design a new photonic experiment.

Pilot Experiment Aims to Study Interstellar Dust from a Balloon

In just a few days, the Pilot astrophysics experiment will be launched under a stratospheric balloon from Alice Springs in central Australia. Its aim is to observe the polarized emission of dust particles found in the interstellar medium of our galaxy and nearby galaxies.
