Physicists create bizarre quantum ‘domain walls’ in new experiment

Scientists can now reliably create a strange quantum object called a domain wall. The discovery could lead to new quantum technology and to a better understanding of quantum particles in general. Domain walls form when groups of atoms at very low temperatures segregate into different clumps, or “domains.” Between those domains forms a “wall” that … Read more

Strange Quantum Object Successfully Created in The Lab For The First Time

Quantum mechanics – the behavior of the Universe at the smallest of scales – continues to surprise us, with scientists now having been able to successfully create a quantum object called a domain wall in laboratory settings.   For the first time, these walls can now be generated in the lab on demand, occurring when … Read more

This 19th Century ‘Eco-Villain’ Made Space Art That Was Truly Ahead of Its Time

Astrophotography allows us all to become citizens of the cosmos.  At a glimpse, we can be transported into the depths of space to gaze upon Jupiter’s dazzling cloudscape. Moments later we can picture the shifting rust-colored sands of Mars, or navigate our way across the lunar surface.   It’s a gift that’s easy to take … Read more
