Quantum Tech One Step Closer With New Single Photon Switch

Single photon switches, which can turn physical processes on or off by using only a single packet of light, have far-reaching implications for quantum photonic technologies - and a new breakthrough makes it one step closer to realization.

New Astrophysics Code Models Stellar Collision Faster

A new code is capable of generating stellar collision models with greater speed and efficiency. A stellar collision event - where two stars usually circle each other before eventually merging - is a rare phenomenon of significant interest in astrophysics.

Muon Anomaly: How A 'Last Hope' Effort Revolutionizes Physics

Earlier this month, physicists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) near Chicago reported the results of the Muon g-2 experiment - and a study released the same day challenges decades of study on the subject.

80-Year-Old Kaplansky Unit Conjecture Disproved in a Research

The Kaplansky unit conjecture has been disproved by a researcher showing a counterexample. The Kaplansky unit conjecture, perhaps the most popular of three algebra inquiries named after American mathematician Irving Kaplansky, has been disproved by a researcher showing a counterexample after more than 80 years.

Nuclear Detonations to Deflect Asteroids: Is It Possible?

In investigating all possible mitigation technologies, including those seemingly from the movies, scientists from the United States are looking at nuclear detonations to protect Earth from dangerous asteroids.
