The detection, identification, and analysis of macromolecules, particularly proteins, have always been of great interest in various fields, such as protein research, diagnostics, and analytics. Mass spectrometry, a method commonly used for protein detection, has been limited by the efficiency and spatial resolution of conventional ion detectors. However, a recent study published in the journal
Physics
Non-Newtonian fluids, such as Silly Putty, quicksand, paint, and yogurt, have captivated scientists for years due to their unique properties. These substances exhibit characteristics that defy traditional classifications as either liquids or solids. Oobleck, for example, behaves like a liquid while at rest but stiffens when subjected to force. The scientific community has long sought
Universities play a crucial role in the growth and success of high-tech industries, particularly in cutting-edge fields like fusion energy. However, a recent study reveals a significant disparity between the importance of universities’ involvement in the fusion industry and the limited number of faculty and educational channels dedicated to this area. In order to establish
In the ever-evolving technological landscape, the demand for increased data storage and faster-performing computers has been surging. To meet consumers’ high expectations, researchers have been tirelessly working on developing new materials that can address these challenges. One such exciting discovery comes from Srinivasa Singamaneni, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Physics at The University
Quantum mechanics has always been known for its counterintuitive behavior and peculiar phenomena. Recently, researchers at the University of Warsaw’s Faculty of Physics have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field by superposing two light beams twisted in the clockwise direction to create anti-clockwise twists in the dark regions of the resultant superposition. This phenomenon,
In a remarkable development, scientists conducting quantum research are about to witness a significant leap forward in their field. A groundbreaking invention, the result of collaborative efforts between the Quantum Engineering Technology Labs and the Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL) at the prestigious University of Bristol, promises to revolutionize the speed, detail, and complexity of quantum
In the world of quantum physics, the search for unique states of matter continues to capture the attention of scientists. One such state, known as the quantum spin liquid (QSL), has long fascinated researchers due to its intriguing properties. Recently, a team of scientists associated with the Quantum Science Center (QSC) at Oak Ridge National
Lead-208, with its unique composition of 82 protons and 126 neutrons, has captivated the attention of scientists. Its notable feature is the presence of a neutron “skin” that envelops its nucleus. This article explores the significance of understanding the neutron skin, its implications in quantum chromodynamics, and its relevance to the study of neutron stars.
Sound is everywhere, and while it may be an essential aspect of our daily lives, it can also be detrimental to our hearing. The risk of hearing loss is not limited to the obvious sources of noise like loud machinery; it can also impact individuals in public environments such as theaters and concert halls. However,
The CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has recently conducted a groundbreaking study in its quest to uncover new physics. This innovative research focuses on the possibility of “dark photon” production in the decay of Higgs bosons within the detector. Dark photons are enigmatic long-lived particles that deviate from the Standard Model of
