From July 4 to 15 the IIF-UFRN hosted the school and workshop “Strings at Dunes”, an international event dedicated to discuss the main advances made in the last years and present new perspectives to the future of the research on string theory. Several special lectures and other... Published Tue, Jul 19, 2016
Superconductivity and ferromagnetism are two antagonistic phenomena, given that a superconductor expels a magnetic field, which in turn destroys the superconductivity and, on the other hand, the ferromagnetism may be transformed into a special type of domain structure, while appearing in the...

A team of researchers with the University of California, MIT, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the National Institute for Materials Science in Japan has created images of relativistic electrons trapped in graphene quantum dots. In their paper published in the journal Nature... Published Tue, Jul 12, 2016

Images of relativistic electrons trapped in graphene quantum dots have been taken by physicists in the US and Japan. The ability to confine and control electrons in such a way could play an important role in developing graphene-based nanoscale devices and could also provide a... Published Thu, Jul 07, 2016

Usually found in quantum experiments, quantum bounds are now being described in purely classical experiments, as a research recently published at Physical Review Letters points out. The work suggests that “attempts to define quantumness should not be... Published Tue, Jul 05, 2016
It could all have been so different. When matter first formed in the universe, our current theories suggest that it should have been accompanied by an equal amount of antimatter – a conclusion we know must be wrong, because we wouldn’t be here if it were true. Now the latest results...  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
