Independent thinking for complex markets and current events
A theoretical proposal published in the journal Reports on Progress in Physics is making some bold claims about our previous understanding of quantum physics. Mainly, that we were wrong. The proposed theory grapples with the fact that quantum mechanics (basically modern physics) and general relativity (Einstein’s theory of gravity) both describe the universe perfectly, but …
Two scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered a new phase of matter while studying a model system of a magnetic material. … … The phase is a never-before-seen pattern of electron spins—the tiny “up” and “down” magnetic moments carried by every electron. It consists of a combination of …
Researchers from TU Wien and China discovered that electrons don’t just instantly connect as we once thought. Instead, they form common properties in measurable waves, triggered by intense laser bursts. Prof. Joachim Burgdörfer put it best: particles don’t just connect—they transform in ways that are faster than our minds can even process. This breakthrough has …
Scientists have unlocked a new way to control ionization, the process where atoms lose electrons, using specially designed light beams By leveraging optical vortex beams, light that carries angular momentum, they can precisely dictate how electrons break free from atoms. This discovery could reshape imaging technology, enhance particle acceleration, and open doors to advancements in …
