Calculations reveal high-resolution view of quarks inside protons
This graphic illustrates a proton moving at nearly the speed of light toward the viewer with its spin aligned along the horizontal direction (large arrow). The two views of concentric…
Calculations Reveal High-Resolution View of Quarks Inside Protons
Newswise — UPTON, NY—A collaboration of nuclear theorists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Temple University, Adam Mickiewicz University of Poland, and the…
Sensing and controlling microscopic spin density in materials
MIT researchers found a way to tune the spin density in diamond by applying an external laser or microwave beam. The finding could open new possibilities for advanced quantum devices.…

Scientists create novel approach to control energy waves in 4D
A rendering of the new synthetic metamaterial with 4D capabilities designed by scientists at the University of Missouri. It includes the ability to control energy waves on the surface of…
Research team synchronizes single photons using an atomic quantum memory
Photon-1 and photon-2 are generated at random times from the photon source. Photon-1 is stored in the quantum memory with a storage pulse, while photon-2 enters into an optical fiber…
Examining how atomic nuclei vibrate with a greater degree of precision
Schematic of an MHI (HD+): It comprises a hydrogen (p) and a deuteron nucleus (d) that can rotate around and vibrate against each other. In addition, there is an electron…
