Scientists Demonstrate Laser Cooling of Antihydrogen Atoms

Swansea University physicists, as leading members of the ALPHA collaboration at CERN, have demonstrated laser cooling of antihydrogen atoms for the first time. The groundbreaking achievement produces colder antimatter than ever before and enables an entirely new class of experiments, helping scientists learn more about antimatter in future.

Researchers Discover Mechanism for Making Superconductors Resistant to Magnetic Fields

Superconductivity is known to be easily destroyed by strong magnetic fields. NIMS, Osaka University and Hokkaido University have jointly discovered that a superconductor with atomic-scale thickness can retain its superconductivity even when a strong magnetic field is applied to it.

Research Paves the Way the Towards Noise-Resistant Transport of Quantum Information

In a joint effort, researchers from the Humboldt-Universität (Berlin), the Max Born Institute (Berlin) and the University of Central Florida (USA), have revealed the necessary conditions for the robust transport of entangled states of two-photon light in photonic topological insulators, paving the way the towards noise-resistant transport of quantum information. The results have appeared in Nature Communications.

Stellar Eggs Containing Baby Stars Found Around the Center of the Milky Way

Astronomers found a number of stellar eggs containing baby stars around the center of the Milky Way using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Previous studies had suggested that the environment there is too harsh to form stars. These findings indicate that star formation is more resilient than researchers thought.

Researchers Uncover a Fabled Intermediate-Mass Black Hole

A recently discovered, new black hole has set a record, not for being the biggest or the smallest one, but for being positioned exactly in the middle.

Two New Experiments to Carry Antiprotons for Antimatter, Nuclear-Physics Studies

The Antimatter Factory at CERN is the world’s only facility that produces low-energy antiprotons—the antimatter equivalents of protons.

New Bi-Molecule Could Find Use in Quantum Sensors, Quantum Optics, Quantum Computing

Dr Rosario González-Férez, a scientist from the Department of Atomic, Molecular and Nuclear Physics and the “Carlos I” Institute of Theoretical and Computational Physics of the University of Granada, has demonstrated a new kind of bi-molecule created from two nitric oxide (NO) molecules, both in the Rydberg electronic state and in their ground state.

Particle Physicists Search for Hints of New Physics in the Subatomic World

Peer deeper into the heart of the atom than any microscope allows and scientists hypothesize that you will find a rich world of particles popping in and out of the vacuum, decaying into other particles, and adding to the weirdness of the visible world. These subatomic particles are governed by the quantum nature of the Universe and find tangible, physical form in experimental results.
