Quantum Mechanics Can Vector Dark Matter Be Produced From SU(2) Gauge Symmetry Breaking? (Quantum) 9 Mar 20219 Mar 2021 Dark matter (DM) occupies approximately 26% of the energy density of the present Universe. In the thermal paradigm, DM particles annihilate into standard model (SM) products in the early Universe…
Quantum Mechanics Lack of Symmetry in Qubits Can’t Fix Errors in Quantum Computing, But Might Explain Matter/antimatter Imbalance (Quantum) 23 Feb 2021 Unexpected twist in the Kibble-Zurek theory offers a new approach to solving two famous physics problems regarding matter/antimatter asymmetry and isotope separation Although our discovery did not the cure the…
PHYSICS Magnetic Effect Without A Magnet (Physics) 22 Feb 2021 Surprise in solid-state physics: The Hall effect, which normally requires magnetic fields, can also be generated in a completely different way – with extreme strength. Electric current is deflected by…
PHYSICS Electrons Falling Flat: Germanium Falls Into a 2D Arrangement on Zirconium Diboride (Physics) 5 Dec 2020 Scientists reveal 'flat band' behavior in 2D 'bitriangular' lattice of germanium, confirming earlier theoretical prediction. Scientists have recently revealed, both theoretically and experimentally, that germanium atoms can arrange themselves into…
Chemistry Self-constructed Macrocycles With Low Symmetry (Chemistry) 21 Nov 2020 The synthesis and self-organization of biological macromolecules is essential for life on earth. LMU chemists now report the spontaneous emergence of complex ring-shaped macromolecules with low degrees of symmetry in…
Chemistry Scientists Discover New Structures In The Smallest Ice Cube (Chemistry) 29 Oct 2020 The freezing of water is one of the most common processes. However, understanding the microstructure of ice and its hydrogen-bonding networks has been a challenge. Scientists discovered new structures in…
Quantum Mechanics Symmetry and the Laws of Nature (Quantum) 17 Oct 202017 Oct 2020 Not until the 17th century did humans seriously think of the possibility that a body of laws exists that would explain all the observed physical reality. Galileo Galilei, René Descartes,…
