Antimatter has been a subject of fascination and intrigue for physicists for nearly a century. The recent experiments conducted at the Brookhaven National Lab in the US have shed light on the heaviest “anti-nuclei” ever observed, composed of exotic antimatter particles. These findings not only validate our current understanding of antimatter but also hold the

The world of quantum networking is advancing at a rapid pace, with researchers facing the challenge of overcoming the fragility of entangled states in fiber cables. Scientists at Qunnect Inc. in Brooklyn, New York, have made significant progress in this area by successfully operating a quantum network under the streets of New York City. While
The recent discovery of a 3D quantum spin liquid near a member of the langbeinite family has opened up new possibilities in the field of quantum physics. This breakthrough was made possible by an international team of researchers who conducted experiments at the ISIS neutron source and performed theoretical modeling on a nickel-langbeinite sample. Quantum
In a groundbreaking study conducted by Professors Andreas Crivellin and Bruce Mellado, deviations in particle interactions have been identified. These anomalies suggest the presence of new bosons that may provide crucial insights into the fundamental workings of the universe. One of the key findings of this study is the discovery of multi-lepton anomalies, which point
Semiconductor nanocrystals, also known as colloidal quantum dots (QDs), have opened up a new realm of possibilities in the field of quantum physics. The concept of size-dependent quantum effects has long been understood by physicists, but it was not until the discovery of QDs that these theoretical ideas could be transformed into tangible nanodimensional objects.
A recent study conducted by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory has shed light on the formation and behavior of excitons in a class of materials known as van der Waals magnets. These microscopic particle-like objects, consisting of an electron and a hole, have been observed in the crystalline material nickel
Excitonic resonances and transitions between excitons have been shown by scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) to significantly increase the efficiency of generating entangled photon pairs. This breakthrough could potentially lead to the development of efficient ultrathin quantum light sources. Quantum entanglement, which is the cornerstone of many quantum technologies, involves the phenomenon
Quantum simulation has been a game-changer in the scientific world, allowing researchers to delve into complex systems that were previously impossible to study using classical computers. This innovative approach has opened up new avenues in various fields such as financial modeling, cybersecurity, pharmaceutical discoveries, AI, and machine learning. One area where quantum simulation has shown
Superconductors have been a subject of fascination for researchers for over a century due to their unique ability to conduct electricity without any energy loss. However, traditional superconductors only function at extremely low temperatures, making them impractical for widespread use in everyday technology. This limitation has prompted scientists to search for materials that exhibit superconducting
The world of physics is a vast and complex one, filled with mysteries waiting to be unraveled. Imagine a two-dimensional flatland, where the rules of physics are unconventional, and particles like electrons behave in ways that defy our expectations. A team of researchers, led by Georgia State University Professor of Physics Ramesh G. Mani and
