Quantum / Classical Computational Simulations Used to Explain Microscopic Mechanism of AHE Release in Water

In ATP hydrolysis, water is used to split apart adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to create adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to get energy. ATP hydrolysis energy (AHE) is then used in the activities of living cells.

New Study Offers Unprecedented Insights into Photophysics of Quantum Dots

Solar cells and photodetectors could soon be made from new types of materials based on semiconductor quantum dots, thanks to new insights based on ultrafast measurements capturing real-time photoconversion processes.

Astronomers Measure Variations of PAH Emissions in Distant Galaxies

A molecule found in car engine exhaust fumes that is thought to have contributed to the origin of life on Earth has made astronomers heavily underestimate the amount of stars that were forming in the early Universe, a University of California, Riverside-led study has found.

Researchers Discover that Protoplanetary Disc Shone on by Relatively Weak Star Loses Material

Newly formed stars are surrounded by a disc of dense gas and dust. This is called the protoplanetary disc, as material sticks together within it to form planets.

New Research Offers Detailed 3D View of Space Dust

Consider that the Earth is just a giant cosmic dust bunny -- a big bundle of debris amassed from exploded stars. We Earthlings are essentially just little clumps of stardust, too, albeit with very complex chemistry.

Results from NEOS Experiment on Most Elusive Neutrinos Differ Partly from Theoretical Expectations

Dubbed as "ghost particles," neutrinos have no electric charge and their masses are so tiny that they are difficult to observe. The sun, nuclear reactors, supernovae explosions create them, when their nuclei are going through a radioactive decay, known as beta decay.

New Group of Particles Discovered Through LHCb Experiment at CERN

A new group of particles which have long been hiding in plain sight have finally been discovered thanks to the incredibly sensitive LHCb experiment at CERN.

New Method Could Help Map the Universe's Ultraviolet Radiation

Astronomers have developed a way to detect the ultraviolet (UV) background of the Universe, which could help explain why there are so few small galaxies in the cosmos.

Researchers Describe Pulsars as Extremely Dense Neutron Stars that Emit Beams of Radio Waves

What sounds like a stomach-turning ride at an amusement park might hold the key to unravelling the mysterious mechanism that causes beams of radio waves to shoot out from pulsars − super-magnetic rotating stars in our Galaxy.

New Computer Simulation Helps Explain Existence of Supermassive Black Holes in the Early Universe

A new computer simulation helps explain the existence of puzzling supermassive black holes observed in the early universe. The simulation is based on a computer code used to understand the coupling of radiation and certain materials.

Scientists Demonstrate Existence of Entanglement Area Law in Real Quantum Liquid

A team of scientists has discovered that a law controlling the bizarre behavior of black holes out in space—is also true for cold helium atoms that can be studied in laboratories.

Quantum Dots Could Help Biophysicists Clarify Structure and Dynamics of Cytoskeleton

Biophysicists from Utrecht University have developed a strategy for using light-emitting nanocrystals as a marker in living cells. By recording the movements of these quantum dots, they can clarify the structure and dynamics of the cytoskeleton.

ISU Physicist Researches Quantum Physics by Studying Atomic Collisions

A jumble of letters and numbers fills the computer screen. To an untrained onlooker, the lines may look like gibberish, but it is actually a computer code key to understanding the smallest pieces of the universe.

New Feedback System Could Control Energy and Rotation of Plasma in Real Time

Like a potter shaping clay as it spins on a wheel, physicists use magnetic fields and powerful particle beams to control and shape the plasma as it twists and turns through a fusion device.
