In inertial confinement fusion, a capsule of fuel begins at temperatures near zero and pressures close to vacuum. When lasers compress that fuel to trigger fusion, the material heats up to millions of ...

Quantum technologies are radically transforming our understanding of the universe. One emerging technology are macroscopic mechanical oscillators, devices that are vital in quartz watches, mobile ...

Looks like we’re closer than ever to connecting general relativity and quantum mechanics. A new study suggests that when we break down spacetime into tiny discrete units, gravity, which is a ...

Researchers at TU Delft and Brown University have created string-like resonators that can vibrate longer at room temperature than any previously known solid-state device, reaching what is now only ...

Statistical mechanics provides a rigorous framework for understanding how the collective behaviour of microscopic constituents gives rise to macroscopic phenomena. This discipline underpins our ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Despite remarkable progress in science and technology, rapid advancements have exposed limitations in many technological domains. A pressing challenge in semiconductor devices, which ...

CHINA, November 30, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In a recent paper published in the KeAi journal Rock Mechanics Bulletin, a scientist from Uppsala University presented ...

Remarkably, the atoms were able to cross this barrier collectively and without energy loss, behaving as if the barrier were transparent, thanks to quantum tunneling. As the oscillating current flowed ...

Scientists have achieved a milestone by controlling quantum phenomena at room temperature. In the realm of quantum mechanics, the ability to observe and control quantum phenomena at room temperature ...
