The fusion of two nuclei involves a complex interplay of various factors that influence the outcome of the reaction. These factors include the energy and angular momentum of the nuclei, as well as their evolving structures as they collide. The quantum nature of the nuclei also plays a significant role in determining the final result
In a world where technology is advancing at an unprecedented rate, the need for more sustainable solutions in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning is becoming increasingly important. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light have put forth a new method that could revolutionize the way neural networks are
Researchers at the HEFTY Topical Collaboration have delved into the realm of charm and bottom quarks recombining to form Bc mesons within the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). This study involved the development of a transport model that simulates the behavior of heavy-quark bound states within the expanding QGP fireball generated during high-energy heavy-ion collisions. The quark-gluon
A recent study published in Nature has made a significant breakthrough in the field of quantum simulation by observing the antiferromagnetic phase transition within a large-scale quantum simulator of the fermionic Hubbard model (FHM). This study, led by Prof. Pan Jianwei, Prof. Chen Yuao, and Prof. Yao Xingcan from the University of Science and Technology
The concept of crystals as an arrangement of atoms that repeats itself in space is well-known in the world of physics. However, in 2012, Nobel Prize winner Frank Wilczek introduced the idea of time crystals – objects that repeat themselves not in space but in time. The question he raised was whether a periodic rhythm
The concept of time flowing from the past to the future is deeply ingrained in our minds, but in the laws of physics governing the microscopic world, time does not have a set direction. Both classical and quantum mechanics follow reversible equations of motion, where changing the direction of time coordinate still represents a valid
The recent study conducted by researchers at Aalto University in Finland has shed new light on the use of magnets to control the movement of bacteria. While the findings are intriguing and pose significant implications for various research fields, it is crucial to critically evaluate the methodology, results, and potential applications of this study. The
In a groundbreaking study conducted by scientists from the Max Born Institute (MBI) and an international team of researchers, a new approach to manipulating magnetization without the use of thermal effects has been unveiled. The traditional method of using intense laser pulses to induce magnetization changes in materials is often limited by the heat load
The field of magnetic field observation at atomic levels has seen a major breakthrough with a research team from Japan achieving remarkable results. This team, comprised of scientists from Hitachi, Ltd., Kyushu University, RIKEN, HREM Research Inc., National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), and the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), has
