Rohit Velankar, a high school senior, embarked on a journey to understand the relationship between a container’s elasticity and the way its fluid drains. What started as a science fair project soon evolved into a collaborative effort with his father, Sachin Velankar, a professor of chemical and petroleum engineering. Together, they conducted experiments in their

The field of spintronics has seen a significant breakthrough with the collaboration between research staff from the Charles University of Prague, the CFM (CSIC-UPV/EHU) center in San Sebastian, and CIC nanoGUNE’s Nanodevices group. This collaboration has resulted in the design of a new complex material with emerging properties that could revolutionize electronic devices. Two-dimensional materials

The recent discovery of neutrino interactions at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) has sent shockwaves through the scientific community. This groundbreaking achievement marks a significant milestone in the study of particle physics and opens up new avenues of exploration into the mysterious world of neutrinos. The Significance of the Discovery The

Non-Hermitian systems have attracted significant interest due to their unique properties and behavior, which are not found in traditional Hermitian systems. These systems are characterized by operators that do not equal their Hermitian conjugates, leading to complex eigenvalues and distinctive phenomena such as the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE). While previous studies have focused on static

The world of quantum physics has long been known for its intricate and chaotic nature, with interactions between small particles often leading to complex behaviors. However, a recent study by Professor Monika Aidelsburger and Professor Immanuel Bloch from the LMU Faculty of Physics suggests that even quantum many-body systems can potentially be described using simple

Quantum computing has long been hailed as the future of computing, promising unprecedented speed and efficiency. However, one of the biggest challenges in realizing this potential lies in quantum error correction. Traditional approaches to quantum error correction involve encoding a single logical qubit onto multiple physical qubits, which leads to scalability issues and resource overheads.

Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice, has gained significant attention in the scientific community due to its unique electronic properties. However, when two or more layers of graphene are combined, new and exotic phenomena emerge. One such phenomenon is the formation of flat bands in twisted bilayer graphene, which can

Quantum entanglement continues to be a fascinating phenomenon in the realm of quantum physics, with researchers delving deeper into its intricate nature. At the Institute for Molecular Science, a group of researchers has made significant strides in understanding quantum entanglement between electronic and motional states within an ultrafast quantum simulator. The quantum simulator created by

Quantum vortices are a fascinating phenomenon that has been the subject of extensive study in recent years. A recent study conducted by researchers from Skoltech, Universitat Politècnica de València, Institute of Spectroscopy of RAS, University of Warsaw, and University of Iceland has shed new light on the spontaneous formation and synchronization of multiple quantum vortices

Light particles, when cooled to very low temperatures and confined in a restricted space, can merge to form a super photon known as Bose-Einstein condensate. This condensate typically appears as a blurry speck of light, but researchers at the University of Bonn have discovered a way to imprint lattice structures onto it using tiny nano
