In recent years, physicists have been dedicated to attaining control over chemical reactions in the quantum degenerate regime. This fascinating area of research focuses on understanding the behavior of particles when their de Broglie wavelength becomes comparable to the spacing between them. Theoretical predictions suggest that in this regime, many-body reactions between bosonic reactants will

In our modern world, the transmission of light is the key foundation for various aspects of our daily lives. From the depths of the ocean to the far corners of continents, fiber optic cables serve as the vessels that carry light signals encoding everything from YouTube videos to banking transactions. We have become accustomed to
Physicists have achieved a significant breakthrough in the measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. The newly updated measurement, which improves upon the previous result by a factor of 2, was recently announced by an international collaboration of scientists working on the Muon g-2 experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National
In recent years, researchers have made significant advancements in the field of 3D nanoprinting. This technology allows for the creation of arbitrary 3D structures with extremely fine features, opening up new possibilities in fields such as material science, optics, and biology. Traditional high-resolution 3D nanoprinting approaches have relied on expensive pulsed femtosecond lasers, making them
Exploring the mysteries of the universe is an ongoing endeavor, and a recent study led by UCL delves into the connection between gravitational waves and dark matter. Gravitational waves, which are ripples in space-time, offer a unique opportunity to gain new insights about the enigmatic nature of dark matter. By using computer simulations to study
Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, holds immense significance in the realm of astrophysics, planetary science, and even sustains life on Earth. Despite its simple structure comprising just one electron and one proton, hydrogen continues to intrigue scientists due to the numerous properties that remain partially understood. Researchers from Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (CAU)
The understanding of Earth’s internal composition has long been a challenge for scientists. While seismological data has provided valuable insights, questions regarding the structure and properties of the Earth’s core have persisted. In a recent study published in the journal Physical Review Letters, a team of physicists and geologists from CEA DAM-DIF and Université Paris-Saclay,
The superconducting (SC) diode effect has become a subject of great interest and excitement within the physics research community due to its potential for advancing new technologies. This intriguing effect showcases nonreciprocal superconductivity, where materials exhibit superconducting behavior in one direction of current flow and resistive behavior in the opposite direction. Recently, scientists at the
On a scorching summer day, we often instinctively reach for light-colored clothing as they are believed to keep us cooler by reflecting sunlight instead of absorbing it. However, researchers have recently made a breakthrough in developing cooling films that are capable of maintaining vivid colors without absorbing any light. Inspired by the nanostructures found in
In a groundbreaking experiment conducted by aerospace engineers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the presence of an unexpected internal boundary layer was observed. This internal layer, nested within the conventional boundary layer, was found to significantly alter the behavior of the flow. The study, titled “A family of adverse pressure gradient turbulent boundary layers
