(Â鶹ÒùÔºOrg.com) -- Â鶹ÒùÔºicists are divided on whether string theory is a viable theory of everything, but many agree that it offers a new way to look at physical phenomena that have otherwise proven difficult to describe. In ...
(Â鶹ÒùÔºOrg.com) -- Of all the assumptions underlying quantum mechanics and the theory that describes how particles interact at the most elementary level, perhaps the most basic is that particles are either bosons or fermions. ...
In an international first, scientists from the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI, Austria) produced a Bose-Einstein condensate of the alkaline-earth element strontium, thus narrowly winning an international ...
Trapping and cooling a microscopic clump of gas and then suddenly releasing it would normally result in the gas rapidly expanding outward in all directions, like a spherical bubble.
(Â鶹ÒùÔºOrg.com) -- Los Alamos researchers in collaboration with colleagues in US and Europe report on the observation of a kink in the dispersion of f-electrons in USb2.
The investigation of complex materials such as high-temperature superconductors is problematic because of the presence of disorder and many competing interactions in real crystalline materials. "This makes it difficult to ...
(Â鶹ÒùÔºOrg.com) -- "In Geneva," Anupam Mazumdar tells Â鶹ÒùÔºOrg.com, "there is a big effort to discover supersymmetry particles at the Large Hadron Collider. But that is not the only way to find these particles. We should also ...
Scientists at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)and the University of Colorado at Boulder, have applied their expertise in ultracold atoms and lasers to produce the first ...
A new calculation, reported in the January 25, 2008 issue of Â鶹ÒùÔºical Review Letters, confirms the six-quark theory of particle-anti-particle asymmetry. This is the first complete calculation of this phenomenon to employ ...
An international collaboration of researchers led by Morten Ring Eskildsen, an assistant professor of physics at the University of Notre Dame, has discovered an altogether new way in which superconducting electrons can interact ...
