| New state of water molecule discovered Posted: 22 Apr 2016 01:31 PM PDT Neutron scattering and computational modeling have revealed unique and unexpected behavior of water molecules under extreme confinement that is unmatched by any known gas, liquid or solid states. |
| The Universe, where space-time becomes discrete Posted: 22 Apr 2016 08:53 AM PDT A theoretical study has analyzed a model that saves special relativity and reconciles it with granularity by introducing small-scale deviations from the principle of locality demonstrating that it can be experimentally tested with great precision. |
| Atoms placed precisely in silicon can act as quantum simulator Posted: 22 Apr 2016 08:53 AM PDT In a proof-of-principle experiment, researchers have demonstrated that a small group of individual atoms placed very precisely in silicon can act as a quantum simulator, mimicking nature -- in this case, the weird quantum interactions of electrons in materials. Their success provides a route to developing new ways to test fundamental aspects of quantum physics and to design new, exotic materials. |
| Cosmic beacons reveal the Milky Way's ancient core Posted: 22 Apr 2016 04:54 AM PDT Astronomers have discovered that the central 2000 light years within the Milky Way Galaxy hosts an ancient population of stars. These stars are more than 10 billion years old and their orbits in space preserve the early history of the formation of the Milky Way. For the first time the team kinematically disentangled this ancient component from the stellar population that currently dominates the mass of the central Galaxy. |
