Quantum Cascade Laser for Real-Time Quality Control of Chemical Products

Good quality and precision are essential – a dictum that also applies to products from the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. While the quality of chemical products is often still being monitored manually during the production process, a laser-based system could take over this task in future, allowing for a continuous monitoring in real time.

MIT Researchers Determine Phonon Mean Free Path Distribution Using Tabletop Experimental Setup

Today's computer chips pack billions of tiny transistors onto a plate of silicon within the width of a fingernail. Each transistor, just tens of nanometers wide, acts as a switch that, in concert with others, carries out a computer's computations. As dense forests of transistors signal back and forth, they give off heat -- which can fry the electronics, if a chip gets too hot.

Researchers Build Cosmic Ray Detector for the Large Hadron Collider

Scientists have a special interest in understanding the origin of life and one of the major projects to achieve this is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Built by a range of researchers of different nationalities, it also has the support of Mexico, as a multidisciplinary team created ACORDE, the first Mexican cosmic ray detector.

Gigantic Flare Observed on Surface of Famous Red Giant Star

Super-sharp observations with the telescope Alma have revealed what seems to be a gigantic flare on the surface of Mira, one of the closest and most famous red giant stars in the sky. Activity like this in red giants - similar to what we see in the Sun - comes as a surprise to astronomers. The discovery could help explain how winds from giant stars make their contribution to our galaxy's ecosystem.

Researchers Demonstrate Peculiarity of One-Dimensional Quantum Systems

A quantum system never relaxes. An isolated system (like a cloud of cold atoms trapped in optical grids) will endlessly oscillate between its different configurations without ever finding peace.

LSST's Search for Dark Matter and Dark Energy Could Answer Fundamental Questions about the Universe

At a traditional stone-laying ceremony outside La Serena, Chile on April 14th, construction officially began of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). This ambitious international astrophysics project is slated to start scanning the heavens in 2022.

More Protons Than Neutrons Have High Momentum in Relatively Neutron-Rich Nuclei

Like dancers swirling on the dance floor with bystanders looking on, protons and neutrons that have briefly paired up inside an atom’s nucleus have a higher-than-average momentum, leaving less energy for non-paired nucleons.

Different Parity Check Gates Enable Efficient N-Particle W State Concentration

Entanglement is an important quantum resource in both quantum communication and computation. The applications of entanglement information processing such as quantum teleportation, quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum dense coding, quantum secret sharing (QSS), and quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) all resort the entanglement to set up the quantum channel between long distant locations.
