Construction Complete on 300th Detector Tank at High Altitude Water Cherenkov Gamma-Ray Observatory

Supernovae, neutron star collisions and active galactic nuclei are among the most energetic phenomena in the known universe. These violent explosions produce high-energy gamma rays and cosmic rays, which can easily travel large distances--making it possible to see objects and events far outside our own galaxy.

Quantum Dots Help Sharpen Nanoscale Microscopy

The 2014 chemistry Nobel Prize recognized important microscopy research that enabled greatly improved spatial resolution. This innovation, resulting in nanometer resolution, was made possible by making the source (the emitter) of the illumination quite small and by moving it quite close to the object being imaged.

Interstellar Dust Cloud Produced By Supernova Explosion Contains Enough Dust to Make 7,000 Earths

Using NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), an international scientific team discovered that supernovae are capable of producing a substantial amount of the material from which planets like Earth can form.

Charge Ordering That Interferes with High-Temperature Superconductivity is Stripy, not Checkered

CIFAR fellows were among physicists who observed the shape of a strange phenomenon that interferes with high-temperature superconductivity called charge ordering, discovering that it is stripy, not checkered, and settling a long-standing debate in the field.

Quantum Matter in Superradiant State May Help Understand Dynamic Phase Transitions

Physicists gave that fancy name to a process which takes a system across a phase transition in a realistic time, to distinguish it from the hypothetical process which goes across the transition infinitely slow.

Quantum Materials Now Able to Produce 'Strong Shift' Quantum Dots in Commercial Quantities

Quantum Materials Corp today announced it has broken the Stokes shift barrier and is able to produce 'Strong Shift' Quantum Dots to consistent characteristics in high volumes. The Company announced the news on the opening of the second-annual Quantum Dots Forum hosted by Smithers Apex on March 18 at the San Francisco Grand Hyatt.
