Imaging the electron dynamics in atoms made possible

A University Hannover scientist has developed a new imaging method to measure the tiniest details of electron dynamics in atoms. An international team led by researchers from the Cluster of Excellence PhoenixD at Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) has successfully imaged...

Quantum gravity theory to shed light on theories of the universe

A collaborative research team including Chalmers University of Technology (CUT), has presented results that cast new light on important challenges in understanding novel quantum gravity theory. Scientists have been hypothesising the possibility of explaining Einstein’s theory of gravity through quantum...

Engineered light waves enable rapid 3D image acquisition

Researchers from the Tohoku University and Osaka University have developed a novel technique that enables rapid 3D image acquisition. One-scan is a technique involving an elongated light spot that resembles a needle, which captures three-dimensional (3D) images of a specimen....

In Wigner’s footsteps: High energy physics at the Wigner RCP

Péter Lévai, Director of the Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics and Director General of Wigner Research Centre for Physics, outlines recent research activities in Csillebérc, Budapest, in the area of modern physics. Hungarian traditions in physics In books on the...

PIP-II: An international effort breaking new ground in particle physics

Lia Merminga, Project Director of PIP-II, explains the progress made in the major PIP-II enhancement to the Fermilab accelerator complex. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is a premiere particle physics and accelerator laboratory, offering a range...

Scientists develop novel quantum processor

A research team from the University of Twente have developed a quantum processor working with light and photons. What makes this quantum processor ‘better’? The latest version not only has more inputs and outputs, but it can also be fed by...

The successes and challenges of the regenerative medicine sector

Stephen Majors of the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine discusses the successes of the sector, and explains how practices learnt during the COVID-19 pandemic could be useful for the development of cell and gene therapies. Regenerative medicines are used to treat...

The Electron-Ion Collider: A precision tool for studying the ‘glue’ that binds visible matter

Professor Abhay Deshpande, of Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Dr Zein-Eddine Meziani, of Argonne National Laboratory, outline the potential of the planned Electron-Ion Collider and the many questions about the Universe that it hopes to answer. The...

J-PARC experiment E45: Studying the inner structure of protons

Professor Philip L Cole, of Lamar University, discusses the approved experiment E45 at J-PARC that will make use of high-intensity pion beams to study the inner structure of protons in the second and third resonance regions. Professor Philip L Cole...

CERN data reveals how COVID-19 infection spreads in indoor settings

CERN’s CARA tool has uncovered valuable data on how viral infection such as COVID-19 is able to spread in indoor settings. CERN experts have produced a peer-reviewed paper detailing accurate modelling of viral infection rates in indoor settings. CERN is famous...
