Researchers transform 20 entangled quantum bits into Schrödinger cat states. This breaks the old record of 14 qubits which was established in 2011. Such superimposed states could provide an important resource for various applications, ranging from...
Three physicists get a high-profile recognition, more than 4 decades after they came up with modern field theory – supergravity. Daniel Freedman, Sergio Ferrara, and Peter van Nieuwenhuizen have won $3 million Special Breakthrough Prize in...
Chromatography is a technique of separating out different parts of a chemical mixture so that they can be analyzed individually. This physical method allows chemists to closely observe organic and inorganic compounds and figure out what they are...
Researchers study the brain of 324 healthy individuals using magnetic resonance tomography. They found that people’s level of general knowledge depends on structural brain network connectivity. The efficient fiber interconnections within the...
Magnetism can spontaneously emerge in a non-magnetic metallic disk if it is illuminated by linear polarized light. Researchers theorize a new technique to create material properties ‘on-demand’. Magnetism is caused by the...
A new study shows deep magmas have more than 10 weight-percent of water. We need to develop a new technique to analyze how much water is actually present in magma. Few things in nature are impressive and frightening at the same time. Magma is one...
Einstein’s theory of general relativity might not be the only correct explanation of gravity’s role in the formation and evolution of the universe. Supercomputer simulations show that galaxies could still form in the universe under...
The new technique can image the structural changes of individual molecules upon charging with unprecedented resolution. It can resolve minute changes in aromaticity, adsorption geometry, and bond-order relations. Charging and discharging of a...
Indian scientists develop a new material — black gold — with unique properties. It can be used for various applications ranging from nano-heater and desalinating seawater to solar energy harvesting. Pollution has become one of the...
Neuroscientists have reverse engineered the information that characterizes an individual’s facial identity and rendered it graphically. They have built 3D facial models using key details stored in an individual’s brain. Every time you...
