Albert Einstein was a significant 20th-century figure. His scientific findings highlighted nature and human’s place in it. Einstein’s words remind many people that intellect may affect the future. The following describes Albert Einstein’s life and memorable quotes. Who was Albert Einstein? Albert Einstein, born in Ulm, Germany, on March 14, 1879, became famous in 1905 ...
At the end of 1946, Wang Mingzhen returned to China and was later hired as a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Physics at Yunnan University. Soon, she met Zha Liangzhao, the dean of Kunming Normal College. Dean Zha had a proud protégé named Yu Qizhong from the Yu family’s famous “Four Youths” in ...
Alternating solid magnetic fields can be used to generate a new type of spin wave that was previously just theoretically predicted. A team of physicists from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) achieved this for the first time. They report on their work in the scientific journal Nature Communications and provide the first microscopic images of ...
Scientists have created the first ”time crystal” two-body system in an experiment that seems to bend the laws of physics. It comes after the same team recently witnessed the first interaction of the new phase of matter. Time crystals were long believed to be impossible because they are made from atoms in never-ending motion. The ...
At the dawn of the 1970s, the idea of a massive scalar boson as the keystone of a unified theoretical model of the weak and electromagnetic interactions had yet to become anchored in a field that was still learning to live with what we now know as the Standard Model of Particle Physics. As the ...
Researchers used computer modeling to study potential new phases of matter known as prethermal discrete time crystals (DTCs). It was thought that the properties of prethermal DTCs were reliant on quantum physics, the strange laws ruling particles at the subatomic scale. However, the researchers found that a simpler approach, based on classical physics, can be ...
When two substances are brought together, they will eventually settle into a steady state known as thermodynamic equilibrium; in everyday life, we see examples of this when oil floats on top of water and when milk mixes uniformly into coffee. When this thermodynamic equilibrium is disrupted scientists can create such things as square droplets and ...
Is the Standard Model of particle physics incorrect at key points? Recently, there has been an increase in experimental observations that deviate from the predictions of this widely accepted physical theory. A current study by the University of Bonn now provides even stronger evidence for the existence of “new physics.” The final version of the ...
A single “super photon” made up of many thousands of individual light particles — about 10 years ago, researchers at the University of Bonn produced such an extreme aggregate state for the first time and presented a completely new light source. The state is called optical Bose-Einstein condensate and has captivated many physicists ever since, ...
For 50 years, the research world has been searching for the so-called Odderon particle — completely without results. But in a new study, a Swedish-Hungarian research group has succeeded in the feat of discovering the mythical particle with the help of extensive data analyzes. The new Odderon particle discovered In 1973, two French particle physicists sat ...
