Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) serves as the foundation for investigating the forces operating within atomic nuclei, as well as the protons and neutrons that constitute them. One of the key areas of focus in QCD research is the examination of how quarks and gluons are confined within nucleons. While the forces inside nucleons can be mathematically

Rare earth magnetic materials have always fascinated researchers due to their unique properties, particularly attributed to the behavior of electrons in the 4f shell. Traditionally, it was believed that controlling the magnetic properties of 4f electrons was a near-impossible feat. However, a recent groundbreaking discovery by a team of scientists from HZB, Freie Universität Berlin,

Recent research conducted by the University of Illinois Chicago has shed new light on the aftermath of underwater oil spills. Contrary to previous beliefs, oil drops from these spills do not simply turn into a flat film on the water’s surface. Instead, they break into tinier droplets that remain suspended in the water for extended

Quantum entangled light sources and ultrafast stimulated Raman spectroscopy are two cutting-edge technologies that have rapidly gained traction in recent years. These innovative techniques have revolutionized the field of molecular analysis and opened up new avenues for research and discovery. Quantum entanglement is a fascinating phenomenon rooted in the principles of quantum mechanics. It involves

The physicists at the University of Stuttgart, led by Prof. Sebastian Loth, have made significant progress in developing quantum microscopy technology. This breakthrough allows for the observation of electron movements at the atomic level with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. The potential applications of this technology are vast, particularly in material development, as highlighted in

The fusion of two nuclei is not a simple process, as it is influenced by a myriad of factors. These factors go beyond just the relative energy and angular momentum of the nuclei, extending to how their structures evolve during collision. The quantum nature of the nuclei also plays a significant role in determining the

The recent breakthrough in quantum technology has opened new possibilities for the field. Researchers have made significant progress in utilizing the frequency dimension within integrated photonics to enhance quantum computing capabilities. By developing silicon ring resonators with a small footprint and the ability to generate over 70 distinct frequency channels, the researchers have paved the

Neural networks have become increasingly complex and energy-intensive, leading to sustainability concerns. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light have proposed a new method using optics to address these challenges. The exponential growth of neural network size has led to high energy consumption and longer training times. For example, training GPT-3

In a recent study conducted by researchers from the HEFTY Topical Collaboration, the recombination of charm and bottom quarks into Bc mesons in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) was investigated. The team developed a transport model to simulate the kinetics of heavy-quark bound states within the expanding QGP fireball that forms during high-energy heavy-ion collisions. The

Quantum simulation has proven to be a powerful tool in the study of complex quantum systems, offering insights that are challenging to obtain through traditional analytical and numerical methods. In a recent study published in Nature, a research team led by Prof. Pan Jianwei, Prof. Chen Yuao, and Prof. Yao Xingcan from the University of
