Quantum optical cooling of nanoparticles
by
•One important requirement to see quantum effects is to remove all thermal energy from the particle motion, i.e. to cool it as close as possible to absolute zero temperature. Researchers …read more Source:: Science
New finding of particle physics may help to explain the absence of antimatter
by
•With the help of computer simulations, particle physics researchers may be able to explain why there is more matter than antimatter in the Universe. The simulations offer a new way …read more Source:: Science
A particle like slow light
by
•Weyl particles are not particles which can move on their own (like electrons or protons), they only exist as ‘quasiparticles’ within a solid material. Now, for the first time, such …read more Source:: Science
Spotting the spin of the Majorana fermion under the microscope
by
•Using a new twist on a technique for imaging atomic structures, researchers have detected a unique quantum property of the Majorana fermion, an elusive particle with the potential for use …read more Source:: Science
Exotic quantum particle observed in bilayer graphene
by
•Physicists have definitively observed an intensely studied anomaly in condensed matter physics — the even-denominator fractional quantum Hall state — via transport measurement in bilayer graphene. …read more Source:: Science
Scientists set traps for atoms with single-particle precision
by
•Researchers report a new method to use lasers as optical “tweezers” to pick individual atoms out from a cloud and hold them in place. As the atoms are “trapped,” the …read more Source:: Science
