Quantum defects are tiny imperfections in solid crystal lattices that can trap individual electrons and their "spin" (i.e., ...

As part of their study, Gorbunov and his colleagues ran 3D particle-in-cell simulations that meant to reproduce particle acceleration in turbulence. This simulation method allows particles to move ...

When you shine a flashlight into a glass of water, the beam bends. That simple observation, familiar since ancient times, hides one of the oldest puzzles in physics: what really happens to the ...

This year’s EU Contest for Young Scientists showcased hard science with a social edge, with young scientists presenting innovations ranging from robot turtles to quantum discoveries.By Tom ...
