• Observatory develops high-efficiency muon detection system with novel plastic scintillator design

  25 avril
  Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) and the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) have developed a novel top veto tracker system for the Taishan Antineutrino Observatory (TAO) experiment.

• Hey, what are these curved green flashes above my polymer semiconductor ?

  25 avril
  In every scientific discovery in the movies, a scientist observes something unexpected, scratches the side of his or her forehead and says "hmmmmm." In just such a moment in real life, scientists from Canada observed unexpected flashes of curved green light from a red light-emitting (…)

• An earth-abundant mineral for sustainable spintronics

  25 avril
  In 2023, EPFL researchers succeeded in sending and storing data using charge-free magnetic waves called spin waves, rather than traditional electron flows. The team from the Lab of Nanoscale Magnetic Materials and Magnonics, led by Dirk Grundler, in the School of Engineering, used radiofrequency (…)

• New physics theory to study low-energy excitations in quantum quasicrystals

  25 avril
  Quasicrystals, exotic states of matter characterized by an ordered structure with non-repeating spatial patterns, have been the focus of numerous recent physics studies due to their unique organization and resulting symmetries. Among the quasicrystals that have sparked significant interest among (…)

• New quantum optics theory proposes that classical interference arises from bright and dark states of light

  25 avril
  Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In contrast, quantum mechanics theory suggests that light particles continue interacting with (…)
