A FEL creates X-rays by the rapid back-and-forth acceleration of fast-moving electron pulses using a series of magnets called an undulator. These X-rays are emitted at a narrow wavelength and then ...

By linking quantum expressibility to neural tangent kernel behaviour, this work offers a new framework for understanding and improving learning dynamics in quantum machine learning ...

Researchers uncover how vortex-like defects in liquid crystals mimic superconducting behaviour, forming structured Abrikosov clusters ...

Too close for comfort: Astronomers using the European Space Agency’s Cheops mission have identified a "clingy" exoplanet that seems to be triggering flares of radiation as it orbits very close to its ...

The CMS detector at CERN has continues to test the limits of the Standard Model of particle physics. (Courtesy: CERN) Lepton flavour universality is a principle in particle physics that concerns how ...

At Qruise, McGhee has a range of responsibilities that include writing documentation, marketing, website design, and attending conference exhibitions. She explains how her background in physics ...

An experiment that scattered high-energy electrons from helium-3 and tritium nuclei has provided the first evidence for three-nucleon short-range correlations. The data were taken in 2018 at Jefferson ...

Many of us will have careers with three distinct eras: education, work and retirement. While the first two tend to be ...

Electron–phonon interactions in a material have been modelled by combining billions of Feynman diagrams. Using a modified form of the Monte Carlo method, Marco Bernardi and colleagues at the ...
