Creation of Quantum Traffic Jam with Ultracold Atoms Could Enable Precise Measurements of Motion

When is a traffic jam not a traffic jam? When it's a quantum traffic jam, of course. Only in quantum physics can traffic be standing still and moving at the same time.

Spokesperson for LIGO Scientific Collaboration to Deliver Robert M. Walker Distinguished Lecture on Gravitational Waves

Gabriela González, the spokesperson for the science collaboration that detected gravitational waves in spacetime passing over Earth for the first time this year, will deliver the ninth annual Robert M. Walker Distinguished Lecture at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17.

PPPL Senior Physicist Honored for Contribution to Gyrokinetic Simulations

Physicists from around the world gathered at the University of California, Irvine this past summer for a symposium in honor of Wei-li Lee, a senior physicist at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL).

Researchers Use Supramolecular Chemistry to Connect Quantum Qubits

Quantum computing is on the verge of becoming more complex. Researchers have proof that large molecules made of chromium and nickel can both store and process information in a manner similar to that performed by bytes for digital computers.

Scientists Observe Buildup of Quantum Superpositions in Helium Atom Within Femtoseconds

It is definitely the most famous experiment in quantum physics: in the double slit experiment, a particle is fired onto a plate with two parallel slits, so there are two different paths on which the particle can reach the detector on the other side.

Stanford Solar Physicist Finds New Way to Acquire Data from Deep Solar Interior

Neutrinos from the sun carry information about its fiery core but they are extremely hard to detect. Now, Stanford researchers may have found a much easier and less expensive way to study these elusive particles.

New Theory of Gravity May Explain Curious Motions of Stars in Galaxies

A new theory of gravity might explain the curious motions of stars in galaxies. Emergent gravity, as the new theory is called, predicts the exact same deviation of motions that is usually explained by inserting dark matter in the theory.

New Diagnostic Provides Real-Time Information About Ultrahot Plasma Swirling Tokamaks

Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have developed a diagnostic that provides crucial real-time information about the ultrahot plasma swirling within doughnut-shaped fusion machines known as tokamaks.

Laser Physicists Measure Photoionization Process with Zeptosecond Precision

Laser physicists in Munich have measured a photoionization -- in which an electron exits a helium atom after excitation by light -- for the first time with zeptosecond precision. A zeptosecond is a trillionth of a billionth of a second (10^-21 seconds).

Scientists Use MAGIC to Discover Most Distant Gamma-Ray Source with Very High Energies

In a study published last Friday in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, scientists of the international collaboration of the MAGIC telescopes (Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov Telescope), located at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, in Garafía (La Palma), and among which are researchers of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), have announced the discovery of gamma-ray emission more distant than any previous detection.
