New Evidence of Local Symmetry Breaking in a Quantum Material Upon Heating

Quantum materials display exotic behaviors due to the effects of quantum mechanics, or how matter acts on the very small scale of atoms and subatomic particles.

Scientists Observe Hints of Large Fluctuations in Collisions of Gold Ions

A new analysis of collisions of gold ions shows tantalizing signs of a "critical point," a change in the way one form of matter changes into another.

Cosmic Rays may Help Explain Aspects of Milky Way Galaxy from the Smallest Scales

Cosmic rays can be described as charged subnuclear particles traveling close to the speed of light. These particles constantly rain down on the Earth and are relativistic, as proposed by Albert Einstein’s special relativity. They manage to produce a magnetic field that regulates the way they move inside the galaxy.

Newest Experiment Reveals No Signs of Color Transparency in Protons

Protons populate the nucleus of every atom in the universe. Inside the nucleus, they cling tightly to neighboring protons and neutrons.

Collision of Highly Energetic Photons can Create Particles of Matter and Antimatter

Scientists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider—a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science user facility for nuclear physics research at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory—have produced definitive evidence for two physics phenomena predicted more than 80 years ago.

Understanding Electron Motion in 2D Layered Material Could Inform the Design of Future Quantum Technologies

Scientists studying two different configurations of bilayer graphene-;the two-dimensional (2-D), atom-thin form of carbon-;have detected electronic and optical interlayer resonances.

Common Workflow to Compute Material Properties Allows for Wider Use of DFT-Based Quantum Engines

An increase in both available computational power and the number of appropriate quantum engines, or code, has led to the widespread use of density-functional theory (DFT) to compute system properties at the atomic level in both academia and industry. It remains, nevertheless, a complicated task.

Researchers Discover the Origin of Milky Way’s Cosmic Rays

For the first time, astronomers have successfully determined the electron and proton components of cosmic rays in a supernova remnant. Novel imaging analysis of radio, X-ray, and gamma-ray radiation showed that at least 70% of the very-high-energy gamma rays discharged from cosmic rays are caused by relativistic protons.
