Outside the small village of Meyrin, Switzerland, horses graze quietly in fields lined by the Jura mountains. You
A researcher at the Large Hadron Collider has turned data from the massive atom smasher into sound. She has two main goals: Create a new way to analyze and study the data, and get non-scientists interested in the research.
(PhysOrg.com) -- Physicists are closer than ever to finding the source of the Universe
The days of waiting for smartphones to upload video may be numbered. Rice University engineering researchers have made a breakthrough that could allow wireless phone companies to double throughput on their networks without adding a single cell tower.
(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists have reached a crucial milestone that could lead to a new class of materials with useful electronic properties. In research reported in the Sept. 5 issue of Nature Physics, the team sandwiched two nonmagnetic insulators together and discovered a startling result: The layer where the two materials meet has both magnetic and superconducting regions – two properties that normally can’t co-exist.
Physicists in Austria have come considerably closer to their goal to investigate complex phenomena in a model system: They have developed a digital, and therefore, universal quantum simulator in their laboratory, which can, in principle, simulate any physical system efficiently.
(PhysOrg.com) -- An online chat between two robots set up by Cornell students is entertaining the nation.
Internet connection speeds could be tens of times faster than they currently are, thanks to research by University of Manchester scientists using wonder material graphene.
Using a modern version of open-wide-and-keep-this-under-your-tongue, scientists today reported taking the temperature of individual cells in the human body, and finding for the first time that temperatures inside do not adhere to the familiar 98.6 degree Fahrenheit norm.
(PhysOrg.com) -- By demonstrating that an artificial atom embedded in a transmission line can route a single photon from an input port to one of two output ports, physicists have built the first router working at the single-photon level. The single-photon router could one day serve as a quantum node in a quantum information network, in which it could provide basic processing and routing of data.
Researchers in the UK and Italy have discovered a technique to
Two completely different quantum systems have been successfully joined. This should pave the way to feasible quantum-computer microchips.
