Laser cooling and trapping allow physicists to map the dynamics of every ion-atom encounter in a collision experiment. For many years atomic-collision experiments basically involved measuring the ...

In a paper in Nature, the ALICE Collaboration 1 reports that data from high-energy collisions between protons can be used to investigate the little-understood nuclear forces between protons and ...

Anyons – the particle-like collective excitations that can exist in some 2D materials – tend to bunch together in a two-dimensional conductor. This behaviour, which has now been observed by physicists ...

At ultracold temperatures, interatomic collisions are relatively simple, and their outcome can be controlled using a magnetic field. However, research by scientists led by Prof. Michal Tomza from the ...

Segment 4C: Collisions We differentiate between elastic and inelastic collisions Segment 4C: Collisions In this segment, we differentiate between elastic and inelastic collisions. The conservation of ...

An innovative algorithm for detecting collisions of high-speed particles within nuclear fusion reactors has been developed, inspired by technologies used to determine whether bullets hit targets in ...

A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings by UC Santa Barbara ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

A new biography of Luis Alvarez captures the details but misses the drama in the career of a scientist whose work ranged from the Manhattan Project to the death of the dinosaurs. By Jennifer Szalai ...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have observed a doping-tunable charge density wave (CDW) in a ...
