Quantum particles retain intrinsic features
Newswise — The quantum Cheshire cat effect draws its name from the fictional Cheshire Cat in the Alice in Wonderland story. That cat was able to disappear, leaving only its grin behind.…
NASA’s Webb Finds Signs of Possible Aurorae on Isolated Brown Dwarf
Newswise — Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found a brown dwarf (an object more massive than Jupiter but smaller than a star) with infrared emission from methane,…

Brookhaven Lab Sets Sights on Particle Physics Goals
Newswise — As the particle physics community releases its strategic plan for the next 10 years and overall vision for the next 20, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s…
Testing the Gallium Anomaly
The Science Scientists have confirmed possible evidence of a new elementary particle, the sterile neutrino. These particles, if they exist, interact only via gravity, not any of the other forces in…
Researchers demonstrate that quantum entanglement and topology are inextricably linked

Some mosquitoes like it hot
Newswise — Certain populations of mosquitoes are more heat tolerant and better equipped to survive heat waves than others, according to new research from Washington University in St. Louis. This…
Spintronic boost for sizzling devices
Newswise — Spintronic devices are electronic devices that utilize the spin of electrons (an intrinsic form of angular momentum possessed by the electron) to achieve high-speed processing and low-cost data…
A method to straighten curved space-time
One of the greatest challenges of modern physics is to find a coherent method for describing phenomena, on the cosmic and microscale. For over a hundred years, to describe reality…
