A research group led by Prof. Sheng Dong and Prof. Lu Zhengtian from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a high-precision xenon co-magnetometer. Click to […]
Physicists observed a strange new type of behavior in a magnetic material when it’s heated up. The magnetic spins “freeze” into a static pattern when the temperature rises, a phenomenon that normally occurs when the […]
When researchers use an optical Kerr microscope to zoom in on thin films of magnetic material, given the right conditions, they observe a sort of micro-scale magnetic hurricane. Physicists call these whirlwind-like magnetic structures skyrmions. […]
Ten years ago this week, two international collaborations of groups of scientists, including a large contingent from Caltech, confirmed that they had found conclusive evidence for the Higgs boson, an elusive elementary particle, first predicted […]
The Classiq Coding Competition announced a list of winners of the $25,000 in prize money, according to the Classiq team. The contest was designed to reward those that can create efficient and elegant quantum circuits […]
The international LHCb collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has observed three never-before-seen particles: a new kind of pentaquark and the first-ever pair of tetraquarks, which includes a new type of tetraquark. The findings, […]
By the time he was 17, Mark Braverman had lived in three countries and spoke as many languages. But though he doesn’t have a hometown, he’s quick to call theoretical computer science his home. “Theoretical […]
Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC), one of Europe’s quantum leaders, today announced raising £38 million (US $46.45 million) in the first close of its on-going Series A. The investment in the company, available on TQI’s Intelligence […]
In 2013, one of the best — but also one of the worst — things that can happen to a mathematician happened to James Maynard. Fresh out of graduate school, he solved one of the […]
The math department at the University of Geneva is usually quiet and still — that is, except when voices boom down the hall from the office of Hugo Duminil-Copin, a not infrequent occurrence. “We were […]
