Optical Nanofiber Inserted into Cold Atomic Cloud for Measuring Temperature

Experimental quantum physics often resides in the coldest regimes found in the universe, where the lack of large thermal disturbances allows quantum effects to flourish. A key ingredient to these experiments is being able to measure just how cold the system of interest is.

NASA’s Hubble Telescope Reveals Black Hole and Newborn Stars are Parts of Self-Regulating Cycle

Astronomers have uncovered a unique process for how the universe's largest elliptical galaxies continue making stars long after their peak years of star birth. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope's exquisite high resolution and ultraviolet-light sensitivity allowed the astronomers to see brilliant knots of hot, blue stars forming along the jets of active black holes found in the centers of giant elliptical galaxies.

Changes in Liquid-Like Pattern of Electronic Spin Correlations Precede Onset of Superconductivity

Despite a quarter-century of research since the discovery of the first high-temperature superconductors, scientists still don't have a clear picture of how these materials are able to conduct electricity with no energy loss.

Environment Provides Fast Control of Atom-Optical System in Cavity Quantum ElectroDynamics

Control systems are ubiquitous, and as essential as they are easy to overlook. For instance, turning the dial on a thermostat feels as trivial as moving a piece on a board game, but this control system is actually quite complex.
