Physicists arrange atoms in extremely close proximity
Write a comment
Boston MA (SPX) May 03, 2024
Proximity is key for many quantum phenomena, as interactions between atoms are stronger when the particles are close. In many quantum simulators, scientists arrange atoms as close together as possible to explore exotic states of matter and build new quantum materials. They typically do this by cooling the atoms to a stand-still, then using laser light to position the particles as close as

Noise can enhance quantum teleportation quality
Write a comment
Berlin, Germany (SPX) May 03, 2024
Quantum teleportation, the process where the state of a quantum particle, or qubit, is transferred from one place to another without moving the particle itself, typically relies on entanglement between an additional pair of qubits. Ideally, this transfer should occur flawlessly, but real-world conditions introduce noise that can degrade teleportation quality. Researchers at the University

China to launch first probe to return samples from Moon's far side
Write a comment
Wenchang, China (AFP) May 3, 2024
China is set Friday to launch a probe to collect samples from the far side of the Moon, a world first as Beijing pushes ahead with an ambitious programme that aims to send a crewed lunar mission by 2030. A rocket carrying the Chang'e-6 lunar probe is scheduled to blast off from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in southern China's Hainan province just before 5:30 pm (0930 GMT), officials have

'Baby asteroid' just a toddler in space years, researchers say
Write a comment
Ithaca NY (SPX) May 03, 2024
An asteroid discovered last November is in fact a solar system toddler - just 2-3 million years old, a Cornell University-led research team estimates using novel statistical calculations. The team derived the age of Selam, a "moonlet" circling the small asteroid Dinkinesh in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, based only on dynamics, or how the pair moves in space.

Pasadena CA (JPL) May 03, 2024
One of the 'science fiction-like' concepts - for a lunar railway system to provide payload transport on the Moon - is being developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts program (NIAC) has selected six visionary concept studies for additional funding and development. Each study has already completed the initial NIAC phase, showing their futuristic ideas

Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 03, 2024
Excitement was high when NASA's James Webb Space Telescope reported potential signs of life on a distant exoplanet. However, a new study by UC Riverside researchers published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters tempers these claims, discussing both the limitations and future possibilities of confirming life on such planets.

ESA’s cloud and aerosol satellite aerosol-free
Write a comment
A few weeks ago, a team of engineers carefully extracted ESA's EarthCARE satellite from its protective transport container, initiating a meticulous process of inspection, testing and preparation for its liftoff later this month from the Vandenberg launch site in California.
Amidst an extensive checklist of tasks, was a rigorous effort to guarantee that the satellite is in pristine condition, underscoring the thorough attention to detail essential to making the satellite ready for launch.
