Optical Control of TI Photoemission Offers Potential Applications in Quantum Computing

Plain-looking but inherently strange crystalline materials called 3D topological insulators (TIs) are all the rage in materials science. Even at room temperature, a single chunk of TI is a good insulator in the bulk, yet behaves like a metal on its surface.

Gravitational Lenses Expose Starburst Galaxies in the Early Universe

Some of the brightest galaxies in the universe – infant galaxies that churned out tens of thousands of stars each year at the dawn of the universe – evolved much sooner and in greater numbers than previously thought, according to new measurements obtained by University of Arizona astronomers.

Telescope Observations Reveal Star-Forming Galaxies

When a batch of bright cosmic objects first appeared in maps in 2008 made with data from the South Pole Telescope, astronomers at the University of Chicago’s Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics regarded it only as an unavoidable nuisance.

Tackling Challenges in Accelerator Science Sparks Solutions for Science, Industry, and More

Some would call the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) — an "atom smasher" at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory — the most modern accelerator facility in the world.

Micro-drum Designed by NIST Physicists Offers Potential Application in Quantum Computer

One of the oldest forms of computer memory is back again—but in a 21st century microscopic device designed by physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for possible use in a quantum computer.

Feynman's Methodology Shows Particle-Wave Duality of Electrons

The precise methodology of Richard Feynman's famous double-slit thought-experiment – a cornerstone of quantum mechanics that showed how electrons behave as both a particle and a wave – has been followed in full for the very first time.

NASA Discovers a Pair of Brown Dwarfs

NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) has discovered a pair of stars that has taken over the title for the third-closest star system to the sun. The duo is the closest star system discovered since 1916.

UAHuntville to Participate in NASA Mission to Investigate Highest Energy Cosmic Rays

The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAHuntville) has been selected by NASA to participate in a mission designed to investigate the highest energy cosmic rays, single sub-atomic particles, each with as much kinetic energy as a major league pitcher’s fastball.

Higgs Boson, Nebulae and Star Clusters Form Part of UA Public Night

William Keel has spent several years listening for the gasp – the sound a 6-year-old makes as he sees Saturn with his own wide eyes. When Keel hears this sound, he knows a young boy’s textbook-limited ideas about the cosmos have just transformed.

A Solution for Predicting Thirring Model Interactions of Relativistic Fermions

A major challenge for physics in the last century was connecting two of its leading theories – quantum physics and special relativity. Researchers are still grappling with the relativistic quantum theories that resulted. Writing in Physical Review Letters, CQT researchers propose a solution to one outstanding problem: how to make predictions from the Thirring Model.
