Physicists Develop Better Technique in Defining an Atomic Wave Function

A new method in determining the location of an electron is developed by scientists Physicists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland developed a method through direct observation specific details that describe an isolated quantum system.

Multi-Dimensional Quantum Measurements Made Possible Through a Magnetic Sensor

A new method measures quantum computing MIT researchers have developed a new method to measure precisely atomic-scale magnetic fields. This approach could be applied in characterizing magnetic materials, mapping the electrical impulses inside a firing neuron, and probing exotic quantum physical phenomena.

When Sand Behaves Like Oil

A complex interaction occurs between the two materials Parts of the examples of granular materials are rice, sand, and coffee. The conduct of granular substances plays a vital function in various natural processes, such as avalanches and the motion of sand dunes, but they are also essential in the industry.
