Using machine learning to speed up simulations of
Newswise — Simulating particles is a relatively simple task when those particles are spherical. In the real world, however, most particles are not perfect spheres but take on irregular and…
Superconductivity Is Unpredictable at the Edge
The Science Newswise — Topological materials are materials that have unusual properties that arise because their wavefunction—the physical law guiding the electrons—is knotted or twisted. Where the topological material meets the…

Could we ever harness quantum vacuum energy?
Illustration depicting quantum entanglement between particles. Credit: ATLAS Experiment The fabric of spacetime is roiling with vibrating quantum fields, known as vacuum energy. It’s right there, everywhere we look. But…
How Particles of Light May Be Producing Drops of the Perfect Liquid
Newswise — The world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator may be producing the world’s tiniest droplets of liquid, right under scientists’ noses. Researchers supported by the Department of Energy’s…
