Previously hidden protoclusters could reveal new details of galaxy evolution
The ancestors of some of the largest galaxy clusters have been hiding in plain sight. New work demonstrates a new technique for identifying the precursors of the most extreme galactic… Read More »Previously hidden protoclusters could reveal new details of galaxy evolution
What quantum information and snowflakes have in common, and what we can do about it
Qubits, the basic building blocks of quantum computers, are as fragile as snowflakes. Now, researchers have come up with a new way of reading out the information from certain kinds… Read More »What quantum information and snowflakes have in common, and what we can do about it
Near-sun comet roasted to death
Astronomers using a fleet of world leading telescopes on the ground and in space have captured images of a periodic rocky near-Sun comet breaking apart. This is the first time… Read More »Near-sun comet roasted to death
The direct detection of a topological phase transition through a sign change in the Berry curvature dipole
The Berry curvature and Chern number are crucial topological qualities of a quantum mechanical origin characterizing the electron wave function of materials. These two elements play a very important role… Read More »The direct detection of a topological phase transition through a sign change in the Berry curvature dipole
