Quantum simulation has proven to be a powerful tool in the field of quantum physics. A recent study published in Nature sheds light on the antiferromagnetic phase transition within a large-scale quantum simulator of the fermionic Hubbard model (FHM). Led by a team of researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China, this
In the realm of science, crystals are defined as an arrangement of atoms that repeat themselves in space at regular intervals. This means that at every point, the crystal looks exactly the same. However, in 2012, Nobel Prize winner Frank Wilczek raised an intriguing question: Could there be such a thing as a time crystal?
Recent research has delved into the realm of quantum evolution, specifically in a photonic system, to better understand the concept of time reversal symmetry. While the traditional view of time moving from the past to the future is ingrained in our minds, the laws of physics at the microscopic level do not inherently favor a
In the world of physics, the idea of manipulating magnetism with light has always been fascinating. Traditionally, intense laser pulses have been used to induce changes in the magnetization orientation of materials by heating them up rapidly. However, a recent study conducted by scientists from the Max Born Institute (MBI) has introduced a groundbreaking non-thermal
In a groundbreaking collaborative effort, a research team from Japan, consisting of experts from Hitachi, Ltd., Kyushu University, RIKEN, and HREM Research Inc., has achieved a significant breakthrough in the observation of magnetic fields at incredibly small scales. This achievement has the potential to revolutionize various fields, including electronic devices, catalysis, transportation, and energy generation.
Researchers at Finland’s Aalto University have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of microbiology and physics by utilizing magnets to align bacteria as they swim. This innovative approach not only offers a method to manipulate bacteria but also provides a valuable tool for various research areas, including complex materials, phase transitions, and condensed matter
The existence of dark matter, constituting about 80% of the matter in the universe, has long been a puzzle in the realm of science. Despite being invisible, its presence is felt through gravitational effects on visible matter. Scientists have been on a relentless pursuit to unravel the mysteries of dark matter, and recent advancements in
Transport networks are vital for the functioning of various natural and human-made systems. From blood vessels to river systems, understanding how these networks form and evolve is essential for optimizing their stability and resilience. While tree-like structures are efficient for transport, networks that contain loops are more resistant to damage. But what conditions favor the
When ultrafast electrons are deflected, they emit light known as synchrotron radiation. This radiation is commonly used in storage rings where magnets force particles onto a closed path. While this light typically consists of a broad spectrum of wavelengths, it is longitudinally incoherent. Monochromators can be employed to isolate specific wavelengths from the spectrum, but
