Grapes of math: Ordinary fruit enhances performance of quantum sensors

Macquarie University researchers have demonstrated how ordinary supermarket grapes can enhance the performance of quantum sensors, potentially leading to more efficient quantum technologies. The study, published in Physical Review Applied on 20 December 2024, shows that pairs of grapes can create strong localized magnetic... Continue Reading →

New AI cracks complex engineering problems faster than supercomputers

Modeling how cars deform in a crash, how spacecraft respond to extreme environments, or how bridges resist stress could be made thousands of times faster thanks to new artificial intelligence that enables personal computers to solve massive math problems that... Continue Reading →

Particle research gets closer to answering why we’re here

Physicists are closer than ever to answering fundamental questions about the origins of the universe by learning more about its tiniest particles. University of Cincinnati Professor Alexandre Sousa in a new paper outlined the next 10 years of global research... Continue Reading →

Irodov’s Problem – GIF animation

Problem:Irodov, problem 1.52., it says that acceleration is constant in magnitude and pointing permanently towards the center of the wheel. `vrai ou faux? A wheel rolls on a horizontal surface without slipping. Also rolling is the acceleration vector (red). It... Continue Reading →

For experimental physicists, quantum frustration leads to fundamental discovery

AMHERST, Mass. – A team of physicists, including University of Massachusetts assistant professor Tigran Sedrakyan, recently announced in the journal Nature that they have discovered a new phase of matter. Called the “chiral bose-liquid state,” the discovery opens a new path in the... Continue Reading →

Full control of a six-qubit quantum processor in silicon

Researchers at QuTech—a collaboration between the Delft University of Technology and TNO—have engineered a record number of six, silicon-based, spin qubits in a fully interoperable array. Importantly, the qubits can be operated with a low error-rate that is achieved with... Continue Reading →

Physicists generate new nanoscale spin waves

Strong alternating magnetic fields can be used to generate a new type of spin wave that was previously just theoretically predicted. This was achieved for the first time by a team of physicists from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU). They... Continue Reading →

Evidence of excitonic insulators in moiré superlattices

Excitons are quasiparticles that are formed in insulators or semiconductors when an electron is promoted to a higher energy band, leaving a positively charged hole behind. At the presence of strong Coulomb interaction, electrons and holes (vacancies left by electron... Continue Reading →

NEW FUR FOR THE QUANTUM CAT. QUANTUM MATERIALS: ENTANGLEMENT OF MANY ATOMS DISCOVERED FOR THE FIRST TIME

Be it magnets or superconductors: materials are known for their various properties. However, these properties may change spontaneously under extreme conditions. Researchers at the Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) and the Technische Universität München (TUM) have discovered an entirely new type... Continue Reading →
