Protons reveal universal phenomenon of maximal entanglement
A photon inside a proton can collide with a temporary complex of gluons, whose color charges (here shown in red, green and blue) can be collectively neutralized. Credit: IFJ PAN…
Higher measurement accuracy opens new window to the quantum world
Several innovations in the new sample rod including sample holder enable temperature measurements with the highest precision. Credit: D. Kojda/HZB A team at HZB has developed a new measurement method…
Physicists show how to detect higher-order topological insulators
One-dimensional surface hinge states characteristic of HOTIs. Researchers have shown how to detect HOTIs without observing such hinge states. Credit: The Grainger College of Engineering at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign…
Forget about being clean, embrace mess
Within a dense system some terbium ions form pair states. Because of their unique properties, these pairs are blind to the single terbium ions nearby that would cause them to…
