Non-reciprocity: The physics of letting waves go one way but not the other

There are many technologies that need signals to be amplified, and are thus susceptible to strong back-reflections. They will all benefit from the use of non-reciprocity, a new and emerging area of physics research that is focused on preventing back-reflection, backpropagation, and, in general, on allow electromagnetic signals to travel…

Measuring helium in distant galaxies may give physicists insight into why the universe exists

A recent study found that the Subaru telescope’s new measurement of the amount and type of helium in faraway galaxies may offer a solution to the matter-antimatter asymmetry problem

The ultra-careful quest to find the shape of the electron’s charge

Physicists use extreme precision tests to search for flaws in the Standard Model. A new study used a strong electric field in the molecule hafnium fluoride to measure the electric dipole moment of its valence electrons, and concluded by finding no evidence of 'new physics'. This result precludes the existence…

Explained | Are phonons, particles of sound, quantum too?

Can we build a quantum computer whose information unit is, colloquially speaking, sound? According to a paper published in Science this month, it should be possible. The problem is that researchers can manipulate electrons using electric currents, magnetic fields, etc., and they can manipulate photons with mirrors, lenses, etc. –…
