Scientists made a pattern in light that survives a broken quantum bond
Quantum computers could become far more powerful if scientists could connect them through networks, allowing them to share…
Scientists shrink Archimedes’ screw to the size of a single molecule
Scientists have developed a remarkable new molecular motor that spins when electricity passes through it. Inspired by an…
Cornell Professor’s viral physics experiment turns two falling ladders into a mystery
Physics has long held the power to challenge what appears obvious to the human eye. A falling object,…
In Richmond, British Columbia, pistons squeezed a lithium shell around plasma until it passed 12 million degrees, and the machine cleared fusion’s oldest temperature bar without a single magnet or laser
A ring of pistons slams inward at once. For a few thousandths of a second, a shell of…
Tiny gold particles in a helium droplet help solve the century-old Thomson problem
Gold nanoparticles preserved charge patterns on helium droplets, bringing the century-old Thomson problem into the laboratory.Researchers analyzed 25…
Video-rate volumetric chemical imaging via mid-infrared photothermal optical diffraction tomography
Video-rate MIP-ODT system We first outline the principle of MIP-ODT. In this method, wide-field MIR irradiation induces localized…
