Density distribution of neutrinos (left) and dark matter (right) in the cosmic large-scale structure. While the neutrinos move fast and look diffuse, dark matter distribution composes cosmic webs such as filamentary structure.In an international initially, an investigation team led by Kavli IPMU Principal Investigator Naoki Yoshida successfully conducted a 6-dimensional simulation of neutrinos travelling...
The symmetry in dynamic development found in many natural events aid scientists in their comprehension of a system's fundamental mechanism. These symmetries, nevertheless, are not always obtained in quantum physics. For the first a period of time physicists from Heidelberg College's Center for Quantum Dynamics demonstrated the theoretically predicted divergence from traditional symmetry in...
The projections of a study from 2020 that computationally evaluated the influence of melting on shock-driven metal microjets were experimentally corroborated by scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). According to a previous investigation, melting the foundation material did not always result in an important rise in jet mass.The LLNL, led by David Bober,...
A team of researchers from the College of Tsukuba's Division of Quantum Condensed Issue Physics has devised a new theory of superconductivity. Based on the estimation of the 'Berry connection,' this model contributes far more to explaining new findings from experiments than the current theory. The research could enable future electrical grids to send...
Fragment ZooPhysical scientists thought there were only three basic elements for most of the first half of the twentieth century: the known proton, neutron, and electron. Nonetheless, by the mid-1960s, that image had shifted. Improvements to particle accelerators and detector technology set the stage for the discovery of a seemingly infinite number of new...
Community Fusion System (CFS) and MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center claimed that a high-temperature superconducting magnet was successfully tested. The 20-tesla field intensity, according to MIT researchers and CFS, is the most intense electromagnetic field ever created on Earth, paving the way for the construction of the first fusion power generator.Magnet design is...
Particles of the Standard Model of particle physics. Credit: Daniel Dominguez/CERNThe theories and findings of countless physicists since the 1930s led to an excellent insight into the basic structure of matter. They found that there are a few basic building blocks known as fundamental particles that compose everything in the universe, ruled by four...
Scientists have collected evidence of local symmetry breaking in a quantum material upon heating. They believe these local states are associated with electronic orbitals that serve as orbital degeneracy lifting (ODL) "precursors" to the titanium (Ti) dimers (two molecules linked together) formed when the material is cooled to low temperature. (Electron orbitals are considered...
Crystals of the material hexagonal boron nitride can be etched so that the pattern you draw at the top transforms into a smaller and razor-sharp version at the bottom. These perforations can be used as a shadow mask to draw components and circuits in graphene. This process enables a precision that is impossible with...
Some physical systems, particularly in the quantum world, do not reach stable equilibrium, even after long. An ETH researcher has now discovered a sophisticated description of this phenomenon.If a bottle of beer is placed in a huge bathtub loaded with icy water, it will not be long before you can enjoy a chilly beer....
