Short light pulses reveal hidden movements
Newswise — When electrons move within a molecule or semiconductor, this occurs on unimaginably short time scales. A Swedish-German including physicist Dr Jan Vogelsang from the University of Oldenburg has…
Manipulating nonlinear exciton polaritons in an atomically-thin semiconductor with artificial potential landscapes
Newswise — Exciton polaritons, hybrid quasiparticles caused by the strong exciton-photon coupling, constitute a unique prototype for studying many-body physics and quantum photonic phenomena traditionally in cryogenic conditions. Atomically thin…
A new lens on the Universe’s most energetic particles
Newswise — Osaka, Japan – Showers in bathrooms bring us comfort; showers from space bring astrophysicists joy. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have observed, with their novel method, cosmic-ray extensive air…
Antimatter falls down, physicists confirm
Newswise — Calgary, AB – The physics behind antimatter is one of the world’s greatest mysteries. Looking as far back as The Big Bang, physics has predicted that when we…
How Radio Astronomy Sees Magnetic Fields
Newswise — Many objects in the Universe have magnetic fields. Planets such as Earth and Jupiter, the Sun and other stars, even galaxies billions of light years away. But these…
New clues to the nature of elusive dark matter
Newswise — A team of international researchers, led by experts at the University of Adelaide, has uncovered further clues in the quest for insights into the nature of dark matter.…
Calculation Shows Why Heavy Quarks Get Caught up in the Flow
Newswise — UPTON, NY—Using some of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, a group of theorists has produced a major advance in the field of nuclear physics—a calculation of the “heavy…
X-ray beams help researchers learn new tricks from old metals
Newswise — A research team led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory used powerful X-ray beams to unlock a new understanding of materials important to the…
