Rocky Mountain pumped-storage hydtroele3ctric power plant is owned by Oglethorpe Power Corp. Source - Thomson200. Public DomainPumped storage hydropower (PSH), a type of hydroelectric energy storage, is rapidly gaining popularity worldwide as a new technology. Unlike the traditional image of hydroelectric power, which is associated with massive dams such as the Hoover Dam or...
Measurement of magnetic Moment of the electron: (a) Cryogenic system supports a 50 mK electron trap upon a 4.2 K solenoid to provide a very stable B. (b) Silver electrodes of a cylindrical Penning trap. (c) Quantum spin and cyclotron energy levels were used for measurement. Credit: Physical Review Letters (2023).

Credit: NotjungCG/ShutterstockResearchers from the Tsukuba Research Center for Energy Products Science at the University of Tsukuba demonstrated a simple method to create ionic liquid microdroplets that function as flexible, long-lasting, and pneumatically tunable lasers. Unlike existing "droplet lasers" that can not operate under an environment, this new development may enable lasers that could be...
Credit: CC0 Public DomainA team of scientists from the University of Cambridge, along with researchers from the United States, Israel, and Austria, have developed a theory that could generate high-energy "quantum light" to study new properties of matter at the atomic level.They have reported their findings in the journal Nature Physics. While classic...
Credit: University of GlasgowA research study from a worldwide group of researchers has cast new light on the physics of vitrification-- the process by which glass forms.Their findings, which center on analyzing a common feature of glasses called the boson peak, might help pave the way for recent developments in product science.The peak could...
Numerical simulation of the neutron stars merging to form a black hole, with their accretion disks interacting to produce electromagnetic waves. Credit: L. Rezolla (AEI) & M. Koppitz (AEI & Zuse-Institut Berlin)Researchers have advanced in finding out how to utilize ripples in space-time considered as gravitational waves to peer back to the beginning of...
A single free electron propagates above the special layered structure that the researchers engineered, only a few tens of nanometers above it.During its movement, the electron emits discrete packets of radiation called "photons". Between the electron and the photons it emitted, a connection of "quantum entanglement" is formed. Credit: Ella Maru StudioResearchers from the...
Credit: Nattapat Jitrungruengnij/ShutterstockIncreased knowledge but reduced innovation in scienceAccording to an analysis published Wednesday of countless analysis papers and patents, the rate of ground-breaking scientific findings and technological innovation is reducing despite an ever-growing quantity of knowledge.While the past study has revealed downturns in particular disciplines, the study is the primary that "emphatically, convincingly documents...

DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.268001Ordinary soap bubbles are cooler than the surrounding airA team of Scientists at Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS, has found out that the...
An intuitive illustration of our theorem. Assume the state we consider has dimension d and is coupled with an environment with dimension k. We use three balls to represent the states, whereas the outer one contains all the states.Quantum entanglementQuantum entanglement is a process through which 2 particles become entangled and remain linked...
