Researchers Show How a Single Atom can Bind Many Bosons Around it

Nobody is perfect, but sometimes it is the defect that makes the difference. For example, the electric properties of semiconductors undergo significant changes by the slightest variation in the dopant concentration, and though a perfect diamond is without any colour, atomic impurities make them shine in pale blue, violet or pink which even enhances their value.

Scientists Develop Promising Technology for Accelerating Particles to High Energies in Short Distances

A team led by scientists from the University of California, Los Angeles and the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has reached another milestone in developing a promising technology for accelerating particles to high energies in short distances: They created a tiny tube of hot, ionized gas, or plasma, in which the particles remain tightly focused as they fly through it.

Study Provides New Insights into How Spinons Contribute to Magnetism of Orbital-Dominated System

Some three-dimensional materials can exhibit exotic properties that only exist in "lower" dimensions. For example, in one-dimensional chains of atoms that emerge within a bulk sample, electrons can separate into three distinct entities, each carrying information about just one aspect of the electron's identity -- spin, charge, or orbit.

Study Results Provide New Insights into Formation of Elliptical Galaxies

It all starts from a problem with dust: galaxies with the highest rates of star formation are also the "dustiest", because the violent process of star formation produces gas and heavy molecules.

New Technique for Producing Polarized Positrons

Researchers use accelerators to coax the electron into performing a wide range of tricks to enable medical tests and treatments, improve product manufacturing, and power breakthrough scientific research. Now, they’re learning how to coax the same tricks out of the electron’s antimatter twin – the positron – to open up a whole new vista of research and applications.
