Novel theory-based evaluation gives a clearer picture of fusion in the sun

26 février

Most of the energy from the sun and other stars comes from a chain of nuclear fusion reactions. The end of this chain is marked by the fusion of protons with beryllium-7 to form boron-8. This process is key in determining the flow of high-energy solar neutrinos that reach the Earth.

A new theoretical development clarifies water’s electronic structure

26 février

There is no doubt that water is significant. Without it, life would never have begun, let alone continue today—not to mention its role in the environment itself, with oceans covering over 70% of Earth.

Laser-focused look at spinning electrons shatters world record for precision

26 février

Scientists are getting a more detailed look than ever before at the electrons they use in precision experiments.

Resurrecting niobium for quantum science

26 février

For years, niobium was considered an underperformer when it came to superconducting qubits. Now, scientists supported by Q-NEXT have found a way to engineer a high-performing niobium-based qubit and take advantage of niobium’s superior qualities.

Unlocking the secrets of the universe : New discoveries in gravitational waves

26 février

A groundbreaking body of work led by Monash University physicists has opened a new pathway for understanding the universe’s fundamental physics.

Collaborating scientists offer insights on improving blue OLED performance for displays and lighting

26 février

Scientists at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have collaborated with the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) on a new study to better understand the degradation of blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The study has been published in Nature Communications.

A machine learning predictor enhances capability for solving intricate physical problems

26 février

In a recent development at Fudan University, a team of applied mathematicians and AI scientists has unveiled a cutting-edge machine learning framework designed to revolutionize the understanding and prediction of Hamiltonian systems. The paper is published in the journal Physical Review Research.

Measuring the properties of light : Scientists realize new method for determining quantum states

26 février

Scientists at Paderborn University have used a new method to determine the characteristics of optical quantum states. For the first time, they are using certain photon detectors—devices that can detect individual light particles—for so-called homodyne detection.

Accelerator-on-a-chip advance steers and accelerates electrons at the microchip scale

26 février

Stanford researchers are getting closer to building a tiny electron accelerator based on "accelerator-on-a-chip" technology with broad potential applications in studying physics as well as medical and industrial uses.

Scientists explain : What is inertial fusion energy ?

25 février

Fusion is a natural phenomenon that provides our planet with much of its energy—generated millions of miles away in the center of our sun.
