Researchers show corkscrew elastic waves carry well-defined orbital angular momentum

University of Exeter and Piazza Leonardo da Vinci scientists have shown that corkscrew elastic waves carry well-defined orbital angular momentum. The study has been published in the journal Physical Review Letters. Scientists described experiments they conducted with aluminum pipe and simulations they built. It showed...

Breakthrough discovery in light interactions with nanoparticles paves the way for advances in optical computing

Computers are an indispensable part of our daily lives. Computers that can work faster, solve complex problems more efficiently leave smaller environmental footprints by minimizing the required energy for computation is increasingly urgent. Recent progress in photonics has shown that it's possible to achieve...

ATLAS and CMS collaborations chase the invisible with the Higgs boson

The Higgs boson lives for an extremely short time before it transforms into other particles. It is through the detection of some of these decay products which are the unique particle has first been spotted in particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. But what...

New Study sheds light on axion dark matter

Durham University and Kings College London scientists have presented a theoretical review in a new study. The study strongly supports the search for axion dark matter. The identity of dark matter makes up 85% of the matter in the universe. It is one of the...

Scientists couple remote ions using a wire conductor

Scientists have succeeded in coupling remotely located ions. They have used a wire conductor. Scientists have showed that individual particles can sense one another through the mirrored charges they generate through a metal wire. University of California at Berkeley scientists connected two ions over...

Fish generate movable pairs of vortices to propel them forward like body waves

Fishes are unmatched when it comes to motion control and flexibility, swimming in complex underwater environments. Scientists have been inspired to copy nature's most gifted swimmers to optimize underwater vehicle propulsion and maneuverability. The relation between the movement of the tail, transient shapes and motion...
