LHC Expected to Produce Roughly 2 Quadrillion High-Quality Proton Collisions this Year

After months of winter hibernation, the Large Hadron Collider is once again smashing protons and taking data. The LHC will run around the clock for the next six months and produce roughly 2 quadrillion high-quality proton collisions, six times more than in 2015 and just shy of the total number of collisions recorded during the nearly three years of the collider’s first run.

Researchers Study Pairing Mechanism in Iron-Based Superconductors

The superconducting transition temperature is a point above which a material exhibiting superconductivity becomes a normal conductor. Researchers are striving to raise the superconducting transition temperature so practical applications can be realized.

Researchers Achieve Robust Quantum Anomalous Hall State in Topological Insulators

Laptop computer users operating their devices on their laps will be familiar with the heat they generate, which comes from electrical resistance converting waste energy to heat. Scientists dream of creating electronic devices with little or no resistance to the flow of electricity, in order to reduce heat output, save energy, and extend device capabilities.

Quantum Chemical Computations Reveal Causes of Liver Toxicity

Balasubramanian and Basak have recently reported quantum chemical computations that enhance our understanding of mechanisms for the causes of liver toxicity. Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common forms of cancer, and the primary cause has been attributed to liver fibrosis by chemical toxins, which is followed by liver cirrhosis.

Scientists Use Diamond to Get Better Measure of Spinning Electrons

Diamonds are one of the most coveted gemstones. But while some may want the perfect diamond for its sparkle, physicists covet the right diamonds to perfect their experiments. The gem is a key component in a novel system that enables precision measurements that could lead to the discovery of new physics in the sub-atomic realm — the domain of the particles and forces that build the nucleus of the atom.

Astrophysicists Spot Distant Star with Powerful Magnetic Field

A star like the Sun has an internal driving in the form of a magnetic field that can be seen on the surface as sunspots. Now astrophysicists from the Niels Bohr Institute have observed a distant star in the constellation Andromeda with a different positioning of sunspots and this indicates a magnetic field that is driven by completely different internal dynamics.
