Quantum defects are tiny imperfections in solid crystal lattices that can trap individual electrons and their "spin" (i.e., ...

Deep in the core of most galaxies, hidden by spinning clouds of gas and dust, black holes spin like cosmic engines. These ...

A single-step high-pressure industrial process replaces complex irradiation methods, producing quantum-grade nanodiamonds ...

A chain of plasmoids is created on the equatorial plane along the current sheet, where the particle density (left part) is higher. Here, magnetic reconnection takes place, accelerating particles to ...

Ferrimagnets are a special type of magnet where different atoms' magnetic moments partially cancel each other out, creating a ...

As federal funding cuts impact decades of research, scientists could turn to black holes for cheaper, natural alternatives to expensive facilities searching for dark matter and similarly elusive ...

Higher Spin Field Theory is a burgeoning area of research that extends the conventional framework of gauge theories and gravity by incorporating fields with spin higher than two. Central to this field ...

What makes something quantum? This question has kept a small but dedicated fraction of the world’s population – most of them quantum physicists – up at night for decades. At very small scales, we know ...

A group of students in Britain have invented a way of capturing tyre dust - a major contributor to air and water pollution - as a car drives along, winning them this year's James Dyson Award in the UK ...
