Tucked away Illustration showing the position and size of the CONUS+ detector within the reactor in Leibstadt, Switzerland. (Courtesy: MPIK) Evidence of the coherent elastic scattering of reactor ...

A FEL creates X-rays by the rapid back-and-forth acceleration of fast-moving electron pulses using a series of magnets called an undulator. These X-rays are emitted at a narrow wavelength and then ...

The Butler-Volmer equation is commonly the standard model of electrochemical kinetics. Typically, the effects of applied voltage on the free energies of activation of the forward and backward ...

By linking quantum expressibility to neural tangent kernel behaviour, this work offers a new framework for understanding and improving learning dynamics in quantum machine learning ...

Researchers uncover how vortex-like defects in liquid crystals mimic superconducting behaviour, forming structured Abrikosov clusters ...

Tritium target The electron scattering experiment was carried out in Jefferson Lab's Experimental Hall A. (Courtesy: Jefferson Lab) An experiment that scattered high-energy electrons from helium-3 and ...

Like most things in life, what you get from networking depends on what you put in. To make the most of such events, try to think about how others are feeling in the same situation. Chances are that ...

New observations are the first direct evidence of planets influencing their stars rather than just passively orbiting them ...

Writing about women in science remains an important and worthwhile thing to do. That’s the premise that underlies Women in ...

Simulations and experiments indicate that the low-density amorphous ice found on comets and icy moons is not, in fact, ...

The piston in this quantum engine is the strength of inter-atomic interactions in the gas. To move the piston, Nautiyal’s scheme calls for abruptly increasing this interaction strength during the ...
