LCLS-II ushers in a new era of science
The newly upgraded Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory successfully produced its first X-rays. The upgrade, called LCLS-II,…
ATLAS experiment places some of the tightest limits yet on magnetic monopoles
Illustration of magnetic monopoles (larger image) and a magnetic dipole (inset). Credit: CERN Magnets, those everyday objects we stick to our fridges, all share a unique characteristic: they always have…
A scalable and user-friendly platform for physicists to carry out advanced quantum experiments, cheaply
Control and Readout System for Quantum Processor. Credit: Authors Quantum computers can solve certain computational problems much faster than ordinary computers by using specific quantum properties. The basic building blocks…
New set of equations predicts hydrodynamic behavior of magnons in a magnet
In conventional magnets, spin and heat currents are relaxed by the same process. (Left) In ultraclean magnets, spin and heat currents are relaxed by different processes. (Right). Credit: KyotoU/Ryotaro Sano…
A linear path to efficient quantum technologies
The experimental setup consists exclusively of so-called linear components, such as mirrors, beam splitters and waveplates, which ensures scalability. Credit: La Rici Photography Researchers at the University of Stuttgart have…
