New physics theory to study low-energy excitations in quantum quasicrystals
By developing a microscopic quantum elasticity theory, this work describes the dynamics of deformations in a quasicrystalline lattice of bosonic particles at the lowest temperatures. Figure (a) illustrates an example…
New quantum optics theory proposes that classical interference arises from bright and dark states of light
Double slit interference. Photons arrive everywhere on the screen, but in the bright/dark regions in a bright/dark quantum state, respectively, that can/cannot excite the atom which is used to monitor…

Individual action won’t save the climate – unless governments and businesses back it
Mindy Hernandez is director of the Living Lab for Equitable Climate Action at the World Resources Institute. We’ve all heard it: Eat less beef. Fly less. Buy secondhand. Track your…
To Understand a Special Hadron, Researchers Turn to Supercomputers and Quantum Chromodynamics
The Science Newswise — Hadrons are particles formed by quarks and gluons that are bound together by the strong nuclear force. Nuclear scientists need to understand how hadrons behave and interact with other…
Search for Sterile Neutrinos Continues at Nuclear Reactors
Newswise — Neutrinos, elusive fundamental particles, can act as a window into the center of a nuclear reactor, the interior of the earth, or some of the most dynamic objects…
