When using a microscope to view biological samples, it is important to consider the disturbance that occurs when the lens of the objective is in a different medium than the sample itself. This disturbance can lead to inaccuracies in the measurement of depth, causing the sample to appear flattened. For instance, if a watery sample

Microbiology has always been a field that requires high precision and accuracy when studying samples at the microscopic level. One of the challenges faced in this field is the limited resolution of certain microscopy techniques that hinder the ability to observe structures within living bacteria. Recently, a team at the University of Tokyo has made
In a recent review article published in Reviews of Modern Physics, Fèlix Casanova, along with Prof. Albert Fert, Nobel Prize winner in Physics, and their team, discuss the current state of electrical control of magnetism. Albert Fert, a renowned French physicist, made significant contributions to the field by co-discovering giant magnetoresistance, a groundbreaking effect that
The research conducted by the University of Würzburg on the improvement of quantum resistance standards appears to be innovative and promising. However, there are several aspects of the research methodology that raise concerns. The study is published in Nature Electronics, which adds credibility to the findings. However, the article lacks a detailed description of the
The world of quantum physics is a fascinating and complex one, where particles can defy our conventional understanding of matter and antimatter. In a recent seminar at CERN, the LHCb collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider shared intriguing findings about the oscillation of neutral D mesons, shedding light on the elusive matter-antimatter asymmetry in the
A recent collaboration between experts from the University of Barcelona and Sensofar Tech has led to the development of an innovative technology for obtaining three-dimensional images of study samples. Published in Nature Communications, this new system boasts the ability to characterize the topography of an object with unprecedented speed and spatial resolution. Optical profilometry, the
The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 marked a significant milestone in particle physics by completing the Standard Model puzzle. However, this achievement also raised important questions about what lies beyond this well-established framework. The universe still holds many mysteries, such as the nature of dark matter and the origin of matter-antimatter asymmetry, which
A recent breakthrough in quantum computing research led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has provided new insights into chiral interface states, an exotic quantum phenomenon with the potential to revolutionize the field of quantum computing and energy-efficient electronics. Chiral interface states are conducting channels that enable electrons to travel in a single direction, minimizing energy
The manipulation of light waves has been a long-standing goal for scientists seeking to enhance the efficiency of energy and information transmission. The phenomenon of light diffraction, where waves spread out as they propagate, has posed a challenge to maintaining the shape and direction of light beams. In recent decades, significant breakthroughs have been made
In a recent study conducted by researchers from Japan, the propagation of quantum information within interacting boson systems, such as Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), has been investigated. These findings shed light on the potential for accelerated information transmission in quantum many-body systems, challenging previous assumptions about the limitations of information propagation. Quantum systems consisting of interacting
