State-of-the-art techniques make it possible to build a spin-chain quantum simulator based on laser-trapped circular Rydberg atoms. This simulator combines the flexibility of atomic lattices and the ...

This video simulation shows how a laser that illuminates a small carbon rod launches a complex flow, consisting of supersonic shocks and turbulent flow. When the grid is present, turbulence becomes ...

The agglomeration of proteins into structures called amyloid plaques is a common feature of many neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's. Now, scientists reveal, through experiments and ...

Researchers have conducted high-precision 3D supercomputer simulations to reveal the 3D structure of theoretically predicted micron-scale megatesla magnetic fields, which optimizes engineering design ...

Colliding light Illustration of photon–photon scattering. Two green petawatt lasers beams collide at the focus. A third red beam polarizes the quantum vacuum. This allows a fourth blue laser beam to ...

Illustration of photon-photon scattering in the laboratory. Two green petawatt lasers beams collide at the focus with a third red beam to polarise the quantum vacuum. This allows a fourth blue laser ...

El Capitan, the world’s fastest supercomputer, is allowing scientists to explore physical systems in ways that weren’t previously possible, according to an article from Lawrence Livermore National ...
