Study Suggests Equivalence Between Generalised Casimir Forces and Weak Nuclear Interaction Forces

A new theoretical work establishes a long-sought-after connection between nuclear particles and electromagnetic theories. Its findings suggest that there is an equivalence between generalised Casimir forces and those that are referred to as weak nuclear interactions between protons and neutrons.

Researchers Carry out Accurate Study on Gas-Dust Cocoon Surrounding GG Tau A System

An international team of astronomers, including researchers at the LAB (CNRS/Université de Bordeaux), IPAG (CNRS/Université Joseph Fourier Grenoble 1) and IRAM (CNRS/MPG/IGN), has carried out the most accurate study so far of the cocoon of gas and dust surrounding the GG Tau A system. By combining complementary observations at submillimeter (ALMA and IRAM) wavelengths with those at infrared (VLTI/ESO) wavelengths, the researchers were able to identify the complex dynamics at work in GG Tau.

Pair of Binary Stars Merge Together into an Extremely Large Star

For years, astronomers have been puzzled by a bizarre object in the center of the Milky Way that was believed to be a hydrogen gas cloud headed toward our galaxy's enormous black hole.

String Field Theory Could Help Solve the Mystery of Quantum Mechanics

Two USC researchers have proposed a link between string field theory and quantum mechanics that could open the door to using string field theory — or a broader version of it, called M-theory — as the basis of all physics.

BC Knowledge Development Fund Supports Projects on Cosmology & Quantum Materials

Three major proposals from the Department of Physics & Astronomy are funded by the BC Knowledge Development Fund (BCKDF) this year. This means an injection of 4.1 million dollars of funding support into studying our Universe, learning about quantum material behaviours, and discovering new quantum materials.

Disappearing Act in Ultracold Atomic Experiments

A disappearing act was the last thing Rice University physicist Randy Hulet expected to see in his ultracold atomic experiments, but that is what he and his students produced by colliding pairs of Bose Einstein condensates (BECs) that were prepared in special states called solitons.

The Quest to Detect the Elusive Gravitational Wave

Detecting the elusive gravity wave has both inspired and confounded physicists for decades. Last March a team of scientists at the BICEP2 (Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization 2) experiment said they detected gravity waves, which theory says were produced immediately after the Big Bang creation of the universe. But since then the euphoria has faded and concern over the measurements has set in.

Galaxies May Have Settled Some Two Billion Years Earlier Than Previously Thought

Astronomers have long sought to understand exactly how the universe evolved from its earliest history to the cosmos we see around us in the present day. In particular, the way that galaxies form and develop is still a matter for debate.

Hubble Picks up Ghostly Glow of Stars from Gravitationally Ripped Galaxies

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has picked up the faint, ghostly glow of stars ejected from ancient galaxies that were gravitationally ripped apart several billion years ago. The mayhem happened 4 billion light-years away, inside an immense collection of nearly 500 galaxies nicknamed “Pandora’s Cluster,” also known as Abell 2744.

Novel Technique Dramatically Reduces Number of Witnesses to Detect Entanglement

How many witnesses do you need to put particles on trial in a quantum court? Researchers at the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) and the Data Storage Institute (DSI) in Singapore have demonstrated a technique that dramatically reduces the number. Their work is described in a 21 October paper in Physical Review Letters.
