Twisting and binding matter waves with photons in a cavity Precisely measuring the energy states of individual atoms has been a historical challenge for physicists due to atomic recoil. When an atom interacts with a photon, the atom "recoils" in the opposite ... 05/1/2024 - 7:00 pm | View Link
Photons Frozen in Time by Innovative Crystal Designs AMOLF researchers, in collaboration with Delft University of Technology, succeeded in bringing light waves to a halt by deforming the two-dimensional photonic crystal that contains them. The ... 04/29/2024 - 5:13 am | View Link
Light Waves Brought to a Stop in a Crystal Promises New Ways to Control Photons Finding new ways to slow fleeting waves of light or even stop them in their tracks could lead to more advanced photonic devices, such as lasers, LED displays, fiber-optics, and sensors. In a cunning ... 04/28/2024 - 7:52 pm | View Link
Scientists at the MAJORANA Collaboration look for rule-violating electrons In a new study published inNature Physics, scientists at the MAJORANA Collaboration have tested the stringency of charge conservation and Pauli's exclusion principles using underground detectors. 04/24/2024 - 1:10 am | View Link
Why did SD Governor Kristi Noem decide to publish her story about killing her allegedly 'untrainable' dog? Her state's Senate Minority Leader offers three theories: Inoculation from others telling it; lifting her national profile - and distraction from her governing record.
Without cameras on Hope Hicks' testimony, media outlets were left with only a transcript to analyze why she broke down in tears. "It's a mistake to say Hope Hicks cried because she knew she just ended Donald Trump's career," says Elie Honig, "or she cried because she had just collapsed on cross-examine.
Reproductive rights organizers in two states with near-total abortion bans, Missouri and South Dakota, submitted roughly double the signatures needed to allow ballot measures that would put abortion before voters.
In South Dakota, organizers have submitted 55,000 signatures in support of the ballot measure granting a limited right to abortion—far more than the 35,000 required.
