Scientists use light to visualize magnetic domains in quantum materials
Light beams of varying intensities (yellow cylinders) help visualize magnetic domains (light and dark areas), separated by domain walls (red lines). Credit: Osaka Metropolitan University When something draws us in…
Argonne workshop highlights ongoing experimental e
Researchers from around the world recently convened at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory for the 25th International Workshop on Neutrinos from Accelerators (NuFact). Held in mid-September, the…
Copper, silver and pectin from apples will protect
Scientists at BFU named after Kant Immanuel have synthesized copper- and silver-based microparticles, stabilized with apple pectin. Experiments have shown that such particles effectively bind organic sulfur-containing compounds. Since substances…
Detecting Planck-scale dark matter by leveraging quantum interference
A fast moving Planck-mass dark matter particle (blue) flying next to a quantum particle in a state which is the superposition of two positions (red) induces a phase shift between…
