Sound waves do double duty, carrying and protecting quantum information

by quasarn01 | Aug 25, 2026 | Latest in Physics

Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have demonstrated a promising new way to protect fragile quantum information using nothing but mechanical vibrations—essentially extremely small sound waves. The breakthrough,...

Using plutonium to probe the universe: Magneto‑ν experiment advances dark matter and neutrino research

by quasarn01 | Aug 25, 2026 | Latest in Physics

Astronomers can’t see dark matter directly, but they know it’s there: Its gravity shapes galaxies and the large-scale structure of the cosmos. In an effort to uncover the composition of this hidden mass, a team at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory...

Simulations reveal asymmetric diffusion of magnetic skyrmions through an off-center gate

by quasarn01 | Aug 25, 2026 | Latest in Physics

Diffusion is a fundamental natural phenomenon that can be observed across a wide range of length and time scales. It plays a key role in many fields, including physics, biology and economics. In particular, asymmetric or directional diffusion of particle systems has...

Chemical physicists quantitatively model electron interactions in real quantum materials

by quasarn01 | Aug 25, 2026 | Latest in Physics

A team of scientists from Caltech and Yale University has shown for the first time how to accurately quantify an important quantum phenomenon in metals, called the Kondo effect, for specific real materials. Unlike previous approaches, which for decades have relied on...

Exact calculations sharpen view of atomic nuclei

by quasarn01 | Aug 25, 2026 | Latest in Physics

Every high-energy nuclear collision leaves behind a trail of clues about the structure of atomic nuclei. Deciphering those clues, however, depends on the accuracy of the underlying theory. Physicists at Osaka Metropolitan University have now performed a full...
