Quantum quasiparticle could make future quantum computers more reliable Supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, physicists have revealed the presence of a previously unobserved type of subatomic phenomenon called a fractional exciton. Their findings confirm theoretical predictions of a quasiparticle with… Read more at nsf.gov
Why does the inner solar system not spin faster? The motion of a tiny number of charged particles may solve a long-standing mystery about thin gas disks rotating around young stars, according to a new study by Caltech researchers. These features, called accretion disks, last tens of millions of… Read more at nsf.gov
