A connection between quantum theory and information theory demonstrated
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Dec 08, 2024
"Our results have no clear or direct application right now. It's basic research that lays the foundation for future technologies in quantum information and quantum computers. There's enormous potential for completely new discoveries in many different research fields," says Guilherme B Xavier, researcher in quantum communication at Linkoping University, Sweden.

Particle that only has mass when moving in one direction observed for first time
University Park PA (SPX) Dec 11, 2024
For the first time, scientists have observed a collection of particles, also known as a quasiparticle, that's massless when moving one direction but has mass in the other direction. The quasiparticle, called a semi-Dirac fermion, was first theorized 16 years ago, but was only recently spotted inside a crystal of semi-metal material called ZrSiS. The observation of the quasiparticle opens the doo

Planet-forming discs lived longer in early Universe
Our understanding of planet formation in the Universe’s early days is challenged by new data from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. Webb solved a puzzle by proving a controversial finding made with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope more than 20 years ago.
