Scattered among the galaxies of the Coma cluster are dozens of objects that are as large as the Milky Way but shine only 1/100 as bright. The stability of those ultradiffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the tidally disruptive Coma environment suggests that they may be held together by an unusually large... Published Wed, Aug 31, 2016
A debate that has been raging for 20 years about whether a certain interaction between photons can be used in quantum computing has taken a new twist, thanks to two physicists in Canada. The researchers have shown that it should be possible to use "cross-Kerr nonlinearities" to create a cross-phase... Published Wed, Aug 17, 2016
"If true, it's revolutionary," said Jonathan Feng, professor of physics & astronomy. "For decades, we've known of four fundamental forces: gravitation, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. If confirmed by further experiments, this discovery of a possible fifth force...  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
