International Scientists Explain the Cause of Jupiter's X-Ray Aurorae

An international research team led by YAO Zhonghua from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has explained the cause of Jupiter's X-ray aurorae, a mystery that has puzzled scientists for 40 years.

Computational Modeling Reveals Millimeter-Tall Mountains on Neutron Stars

New models of neutron stars show that their tallest mountains may be only fractions of millimetres high, due to the huge gravity on the ultra-dense objects. The research is presented today at the National Astronomy Meeting 2021.

New Insights into Ultrafast Response of Topological States of Matter to Femtosecond Laser Pulses

The laws of quantum physics rule the microcosm. They determine, for example, how easily electrons move through a crystal and thus whether the material is a metal, a semiconductor or an insulator.

D-Wave Quantum-Annealing Computer Used to Isolate Emergent Magnetic Monopoles

Using a D-Wave quantum-annealing computer as a testbed, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have shown that it is possible to isolate so-called emergent magnetic monopoles, a class of quasiparticles, creating a new approach to developing "materials by design."

Scientists Set the Most Stringent Laboratory Constraint on Exotic Spin Interaction

Prof. DU Jiangfeng, Prof. RONG Xing, and their colleagues from the Key Laboratory of Micromagnetic Resonance, University of Science and Technology of China of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, set the most stringent laboratory constraint on the exotic spin- and velocity-dependent interaction at the micrometer scale. This study was published in Physical Review Letters.

A New Alternative Mechanism to Achieve Superconductivity in Graphene

Superconductivity is a physical phenomenon where the electrical resistance of a material drops to zero under a certain critical temperature. Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory is a well-established explanation that describes superconductivity in most materials.

Researchers Find Evidence for an Anomalous Phase of Matter

Researchers have found evidence for an anomalous phase of matter that was predicted to exist in the 1960s. Harnessing its properties could pave the way to new technologies able to share information without energy losses. T

DFG Research Group Aims to Solve the Mysteries of Super-Energetic Jets

Black holes are found at the centre of almost all galaxies that have been studied so far. They have an unimaginably large mass and therefore attract matter, gas and even light.
