Physicists have developed a new method for the search for hypothetical dark matter particles in the laboratory. They offer to axions in the collision of two intense laser beams — sensitivity of such experience comparable with astrophysical experiments, while the Read more
The connection between the built-in non-linear metamaterial waveguide and resonant distributed fashion can provide absolute detection of photons with an error of less than one percent. A new concept for broadband single-photon detector in the microwave range physics described in Read more
Physicists have created a flat dielectric mirror, which is capable of focusing light in the reflected beam. Its working principle is based on the effect of photonic jet, according to which micro-particles in the material can function as a lens, Read more
Astrophysicists have shown that in the halo of the milky Way should be about 220 dwarf galaxies, about a quarter of which resides in the gravitational field of the Large Magellanic Cloud. This number is significantly higher observed quantity: approximately Read more
Data collection on the situation of neutral fermions in two-dimensional harmonic potential has allowed physicists for the first time to see the crystals Pauli and to investigate their melting. This was reported in a Preprint posted on arxiv.org Crystal structure Read more
A group of physicists from China and the United States created the first controlled quantum entanglement between the cooled atoms and the molecule. The experiment demonstrates a method of creating microscopic hybrid systems for quantum information processing. Work published in Read more
Italian and American mechanics explained how the Italian architect of the XVI century were able to build a large octagonal dome without using scaffolding and supports. The computer modeling structure of masonry such domes, scientists have shown that due to Read more
Of superconducting qubits it is possible to create two giant artificial atom and placed them in a common waveguide. Such atoms are protected from radiative decay and can communicate with each other. The quantum coupling constant is strong enough that Read more
A group of physicists from Switzerland have created a prototype lidar based on the number of parallel coherent wave. The presented device works faster modern lidar and is more resistant to external noises. The work presented in the journal Nature. Read more
Physics for the first time received two-dimensional molybdenum oxide, which demonstrates piezoelectric properties. Usually the piezoelectric materials are non-centrosymmetrical crystals, but molybdenum oxide is not. In a new material, scientists were able to artificially achieve piezoelectric properties by the addition Read more
