In a world where machine learning and artificial intelligence are becoming increasingly prevalent, the sustainability of neural networks is a growing concern. The exponential growth in the size of neural networks has led to a corresponding increase in energy consumption and training times. This has sparked the development of neuromorphic computing, a field aiming to

The study conducted by researchers from the HEFTY Topical Collaboration delves into the recombination of charm and bottom quarks into Bc mesons within the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). This investigation aims to understand the kinetics of heavy-quark bound states in the high-energy heavy-ion collisions that give rise to a QGP fireball. One of the key aspects

In a groundbreaking study published in Nature, a team of researchers led by Prof. Pan Jianwei, Prof. Chen Yuao, and Prof. Yao Xingcan from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully observed the antiferromagnetic phase transition within a large-scale quantum simulator of the fermionic Hubbard

Time crystals have been a topic of debate and controversy since Nobel Prize winner Frank Wilczek first proposed the concept back in 2012. The idea of an object that repeats itself not in space but in time seemed challenging and almost impossible to some, while others were intrigued by the possibilities it presented. Now, a

The concept of time reversal symmetry in quantum mechanics and its implications on quantum information science have been the subject of recent research. A team of experts from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and the University of Hong Kong have made significant progress in constructing a coherent superposition of quantum evolution

Recently, a research team from Japan, consisting of scientists from various institutions, made a groundbreaking discovery in the observation of magnetic fields at incredibly small scales. This achievement has the potential to revolutionize various industries such as electronics, catalysis, transportation, and energy generation by providing insights into the magnetic properties of materials at the atomic

In a groundbreaking study conducted by researchers at Finland’s Aalto University, a new method has been developed to leveraging the power of magnets to organize and control the movement of bacteria.

The ability to manipulate magnetization on ultrafast time scales is crucial for advancements in various fields such as ultrafast magnetism, spintronics, and data storage technologies. While intense laser pulses have been traditionally used to induce magnetization changes in materials, the typical thermal effects limit the applicability of such techniques due to the heat load on

The universe is shrouded in darkness, with approximately 80% of its matter being invisible to the naked eye. Dark matter is a perplexing enigma that has baffled scientists for years. It permeates through space, passing through us at an astonishing rate of trillions of particles per second. Despite its hidden nature, we can detect the

Transport networks, such as river systems, play a vital role in optimizing stability and resilience within natural and human-made systems. These networks are essential for the efficient flow of various resources and materials. It is crucial to understand how these networks form and evolve to ensure their effectiveness in the face of changing environmental conditions
