Phys.org / Physicists capture first direct evidence of a Floquet topological state
A new study published in Nature Physics reports the first direct experimental evidence of a Floquet topological state, a novel light-induced phase of matter that, until now, has existed only on paper and in simulations. Topological ...
Phys.org / Volcanic eruptions in Pacific Ring of Fire may have cooled Earth for centuries
For around 12,000 years, the Earth has been in the Holocene epoch, a warmer period following a glacial period. During this epoch, however, there have been around 22 abrupt cold phases, each lasting up to several centuries ...
Phys.org / Photonic time crystals unlock ultrafast control of light in the terahertz range
An international team of researchers from École Polytechnique, Collège de France and Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has achieved a world first: the experimental realization of an all-optical photonic time crystal ...
Phys.org / Rare-earth ions could enable telecom-ready control of interacting qubits
Quantum technologies are devices and systems that exploit the laws of quantum mechanics and could perform tasks that are difficult or impossible to tackle using their classical counterparts. These technologies process and ...
Phys.org / Moonquakes could reveal ice buried beneath lunar south polar craters
Finding water on the moon may only be a matter of detecting the right vibrations.
Medical Xpress / This amino acid may help the body fight tumors and viral infections
The amino acid arginine helps keep the human body humming, most notably by synthesizing proteins that carry out a range of cellular processes. It's produced by our bodies and found in common high-protein foods. Low levels ...
Phys.org / Tabby's star may be orbited by a planetary-mass companion
By analyzing data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and conducting new radial velocity measurements, U.K. and French astronomers have found evidence that the mysterious Tabby's star may be orbited by ...
Medical Xpress / Chemicals present in drinking water may carry a hidden risk tied to uterine cancer
In a recent study, researchers examined whether certain chemicals present in public drinking water are linked to uterine cancer, the most common gynecological cancer in the United States and one that has been steadily increasing ...
Phys.org / Waste CO₂ converts into graphite through a newly observed two-step process
Graphite, the carbon core of a humble No. 2 pencil, is also an essential component in technologies such as batteries, smartphones, laptops and industrial power equipment. Today, nearly all of this critical mineral must be ...
Phys.org / Moon's thick crust could amplify elusive gravitational-wave signals
Gravitational waves are tiny ripples in the fabric of spacetime that are produced when massive objects in the cosmos accelerate or collide. By detecting these waves, astrophysicists can study various cosmic events, including ...
Phys.org / Diamond's newfound defect may tame vibrations that hinder quantum light sources
Researchers in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have discovered a new type of quantum light emitter in diamonds that could help overcome a number of challenges ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers find simple habit to improve physical and mental health
University of Missouri researchers have identified a simple, effective way to improve quality of life. A new study found that maintaining a consistent daily routine can reduce physical pain and ease symptoms of depression, ...
