Âé¶¹ÒùÔºicists propose method for braiding light

(Âé¶¹ÒùÔº)—Âé¶¹ÒùÔºicists have proposed a way to braid three beams of light by guiding the beams along swirling, vortex-shaped defects in the optical medium through which the beams travel. The braided light would have an unusual ...

How the hidden mathematics of living cells could help us decipher the brain

Given how much they can actually do, computers have a surprisingly simple basis. Indeed, the logic they use has worked so well that we have even started to think of them as analogous to the human brain. Current computers ...

Researchers observe phase transition thought impossible

An ultrapure material taken to pressures greater than that in the depths of the ocean and chilled to temperatures colder than outer space has revealed an unexpected phase transition that crosses two different phase categories.

What are these nanostars in 2D-superconductor supposed to mean?

Âé¶¹ÒùÔºicists from France and Russia have discovered magnetic disturbances in two-dimensional (2D) layered superconductors resembling small oscillating stars. These star-like electronic excitations are located around individual ...

'Fibonacci quasiparticle' could form basis of future quantum computers

(Âé¶¹ÒùÔº)—Topological quantum computing (TQC) is a newer type of quantum computing that uses "braids" of particle tracks, rather than actual particles such as ions and electrons, as the qubits to implement computations. ...

Why glaciers that flow into the ocean are extremely sensitive to climate

In a new paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience researchers present a new view of iceberg calving that explains the sudden collapse of ice shelves and sudden retreat of tidewater glaciers, observed as the polar ...

Exotic state of matter propels quantum computing theory

So far it exists mainly in theory, but if invented, the large-scale quantum computer would change computing forever. Rather than the classical data-encoding method using binary digits, a quantum computer would process information ...

Tunable quantum behavior observed in bilayer graphene

Columbia researchers have observed the fractional quantum Hall effect in bilayer graphene and shown that this exotic state of matter can be tuned by an electric field.

Researchers produce the first experimental pulse-generation of a single electron—a leviton

(Âé¶¹ÒùÔº) —A team of researchers in France has produced the first experimental pulse-generation of a single electron—they've named it a leviton, in honor of physicist Leonid Levitov and its resemblance to a soliton. ...
