Having good neighbors can be very valuable—even in the atomic world. A team of Amsterdam physicists was able to determine an ...
The rapid increase in detections stems from major upgrades to the instruments, including advances in quantum precision engineering ... but a handful involve neutron stars (either black hole-neutron ...
Every year in October our UCSB Physics faculty present an explanation of the Nobel Prize in Physics for that year.
The uncertainty inherent to quantum mechanics has long left physicists wondering whether the observations we make on the ...
The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, uses number ...
Boron nitride sensors enable quantum measurements under crushing pressure, redefining high-pressure physics. The quantum ...
As the collapsed core of a massive star, a neutron star is a small but incredibly dense object, packing up to three times the mass of our sun into a small volume. Models predict that neutron stars are ...
