Scientists Create Model of Magnetic Material that Unveils Unusual State of Matter

A little frustration can make life interesting. This is certainly the case in physics, where the presence of competing forces that cannot be satisfied at the same time - known as frustration - can lead to rare material properties.

Electrons Reveal Quantum Nature at Extremely Low Temperatures

What would happen if an electric current no longer flowed, but trickled instead? This was the question investigated by researchers working with Christian Ast at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research.

Researchers Explore Basic Principles of Formation of Massive Stars

The birth of massive stars is still a mystery to us, because these stars are embedded in an extremely dense medium of gas and dust, says Rolf Kuiper, the leader of the Emmy Noether Research Group for Massive Star Formation, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).

Scientists Develop New Methods to Study Time Structure of Quantum Jumps

Quantum particles can change their state very quickly -- this is called a "quantum jump". An atom, for example, can absorb a photon, thereby changing into a state of higher energy.

Particle Accelerator Experts Demonstrate New Type of Beam Diagnostics Device

A precise measurement of absolute beam intensity is essential for many areas of science. It is a key parameter to monitor any losses in a beam and to calibrate the absolute number of particles delivered to the experiments.

Collision of Two Distant Galaxies Produces Dazzling Arcs of Intense Star Formation

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have discovered a tsunami of stars and gas that is crashing midway through the disk of a spiral galaxy known as IC 2163.

Southern Constellation of Tucana Cluster Possesses Variety of Unsung Cosmic Beauties

It may be famous for hosting spectacular sights such as the Tucana Dwarf Galaxy and 47 Tucanae (heic1510), the second brightest globular cluster in the night sky, but the southern constellation of Tucana (The Toucan) also possesses a variety of unsung cosmic beauties.

New SPIRAL2 Particle Reactor Could Generate Immensely Powerful Particle Beams

The new SPIRAL2 particle accelerator at the French large heavy-ion accelerator GANIL (CNRS/CEA), inaugurated on November 3 in the presence of the French President François Hollande, will be able to produce immensely powerful particle beams, enabling scientists to push back the frontiers of knowledge.

New Technique May Allow Large-Scale Atom Arrays for Quantum Computing

Atoms, photons, and other quantum particles are often capricious and finicky by nature; very rarely at a standstill, they often collide with others of their kind.

Smaller Galaxy Loses Nearly All Stars, Gas During Close Galactic Encounter with Larger Galaxy

Astronomers using the super-sharp radio vision of the National Science Foundation's Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) have found the shredded remains of a galaxy that passed through a larger galaxy, leaving only the smaller galaxy's nearly-naked supermassive black hole to emerge and speed away at more than 2,000 miles per second.
