Simulating particles has always been a crucial aspect of understanding their behavior, but when it comes to irregularly shaped particles, the task becomes much more complex. In the real world, particles rarely conform to perfect spherical shapes, making their simulation a time-consuming process. This is particularly relevant in the case of microplastics, a form of
The study conducted by the University of Trento in collaboration with the University of Chicago introduces a novel approach to understanding the interactions between electrons and light. This research has the potential to revolutionize the field of quantum technologies and lead to the discovery of new states of matter. Published in Physical Review Letters, this
Antimatter, the mysterious counterpart to ordinary matter, has long perplexed physicists and cosmologists. Recent experiments at the Brookhaven National Lab in the US have unveiled the heaviest “anti-nuclei” ever observed, shedding light on the properties and production of these exotic particles. The implications of these findings extend beyond antimatter itself, offering valuable insights into the
Quantum networks have long been considered the future of communication technology, promising secure, high-speed, and efficient data transmission. However, the fragility of entangled states in fiber optic cables has been a major obstacle in the development of practical quantum networks. Recently, a team of scientists at Qunnect Inc. in Brooklyn, New York, made a significant
Recent research has uncovered a fascinating discovery in the realm of quantum physics – a 3D quantum spin liquid lurking within a member of the langbeinite family. This revelation sheds light on the unique behavior induced by the material’s crystalline structure and magnetic interactions, leading to the emergence of an intriguing island of liquidity. The
In the realm of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), the demand for immersive experiences is constantly growing. To meet this demand, a research team has developed a cutting-edge double-layer dry transfer printing technology that revolutionizes the display industry. This breakthrough technology aims to enhance the viewing experience in AR and VR applications by
Self-organization is a fundamental process in biological systems and plays a crucial role in the formation of complex patterns. LMU physicist Professor Erwin Frey and his team have developed a theoretical model to explain how active foams can emerge from a mixture of protein filaments and molecular motors. These components are essential for the construction
