Carbon-12 Protons and Neutrons Form Alpha Clusters of Nucleons

A North Carolina State University researcher has taken a “snapshot” of the way particles combine to form carbon-12, the element that makes all life on Earth possible. And the picture looks like a bent arm.

UW Faculty Named American Physical Society Fellows for Quantum Research

Five University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers are among about 250 newly named fellows of the American Physical Society, an honor bestowed upon no more than half of one percent of the professional society's membership.

Entire Galaxy Glows in Green Bean Galaxies

Many galaxies have a giant black hole at their centre that causes the gas around it to glow. However, in the case of green bean galaxies, the entire galaxy is glowing, not just the centre. These new observations reveal the largest and brightest glowing regions ever found, thought to be powered by central black holes that were formerly very active but are now switching off.

$Cost-Effective Diffraction Spectrometer Tunes Lasers with High Accuracy$

Cost-Effective Diffraction Spectrometer Tunes Lasers with High Accuracy

Every photon in a laser beam marches in lockstep, at an identical wavelength that depends on what the laser is used for – for example, infrared lasers that drive the optic fiber internet.

Uncertainties in Blackbody Radiation Shift May Impose Limits on Accuracy of Atomic Clocks

No man is an island, entire of itself, said poet John Donne. And no atom neither. Even in the middle of intergalactic space, atoms feel the electromagnetic field---also known as the cosmic microwave background---left over by the Big Bang.

$Novel Diffraction Spectrometer May Help Elucidate Quantum Mechanical Structure of Matter$

Novel Diffraction Spectrometer May Help Elucidate Quantum Mechanical Structure of Matter

Every photon in a laser beam marches in lockstep, at an identical wavelength that depends on what the laser is used for – for example, infrared lasers that drive the optic fiber internet. For many applications, lasers need to be precisely tuned to those wavelengths, and the wavelength-measuring instruments can be more expensive than the lasers themselves.
