Scavenger nanoparticles could make fuel cell-powered vehicles a reality

A collaborative group of engineers have created a material that prevents inexpensive catalysts from degrading in cell-powered vehicles. A collaborative team, including engineers at the University of Illinois Chicago, has developed a material that has the potential to give fuel...

Producing quantum dots in a regular arrangement

Researchers from the Universität Bochum (RUB) and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a technique to improve the manufacturing process of producing quantum dots. Quantum dots are semiconductor particles that are a few nanometres in size. They have optical...

UK Government supports Ukrainian research community in Britain

The UK Government is providing a £3m support package for Ukrainian research community involved in academic research in Britain, in order to facilitate the continuation of their important work. On 27 March 2022, the Government announced that the Ukrainian research...

Observing top-quark-photon production for the first time

Researchers with CERN’s ATLAS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider have achieved the first observation of electroweak top-quark–photon production. The top quark is incredibly unique; it is the heaviest known particle and thus interacts with the Higgs boson. The top...

Analysing long-lived particles could explain mysteries of the Universe

Physicists participating in the ATLAS experiment are on the hunt for new, long-lived particles that could help to explain several outstanding mysteries of the Universe. What have scientists discovered regarding long-lived particles? High-energy collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) permit...

Superconductive materials with potential for real-world applications

A research team from Linköping University has made headway in discovering superconductive materials that are useful in real-world situations. How was this superconductive material discovered? Scientists have discovered that magnesium diboride becomes superconductive at a higher temperature when it is stretched....

Photoionisation used to gain insights into complex molecular potential

The mechanism of photoionisation has been used to highlight how complex pathways influence time delays in the ionisation of molecules. How can researchers employ the mechanism of photoionisation to gain an insight into complex molecular potential? This question has now...

Behaviour of hybrid matter-antimatter atoms in superfluid helium revealed

A collaborative study conducted by CERN and ASACUSA has revealed that hybrid matter-antimatter atoms have an unexpected response to laser light when immersed in superfluid helium. What has been discovered about the hybrid matter-antimatter atoms? “Our study suggests that hybrid matter–antimatter...

UK Government announces plans for largest ever research and development budget

The £39.8 billion research and development budget for 2022-2025 will help deliver the UK Government's Innovation Strategy and drive forward scientific ambitions. The largest ever research and development budget (R&D), worth £39.8 billion, has been allocated across the Department for...

Quantum entities evolve from gravitational wave experiments

A research team from the American Institute of Physics (AIP) has discovered that quantum entities can evolve from gravitational wave experiments. In AVS Quantum Science, co-published by AIP Publishing and AVS, researchers from Hamburg University, Germany, review research on gravitational...
