A new technique for the radiative cooling of spin ensembles
Researchers at CEA/CNRS/Université Paris Saclay, University College London and ETH Zurich have recently devised a new method to control the temperature of a spin ensemble by increasing electron spin polarization above its thermal equilibrium value. Their research,...
Exploring the role of cells in the lateral thalamus in controlling fear behavior
Researchers at the Research Center for Natural Sciences and other institutes in Hungary have recently carried out a study investigating the involvement of brain regions other than the amygdala—more specifically, the lateral thalamus— in controlling fear behavior....
The observation of photon-assisted tunneling signatures in Majorana wires
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen and Microsoft Quantum Lab Copenhagen have recently carried out a study investigating the potential of Majorana zero modes, zero-energy quasiparticle states that can be found in superconductive hybrid nanowires, as a means of...
Measuring the charge radii of exotic copper isotopes
Researchers at Instituut voor Kern- en Stralingsfysica in Belgium and The University of Manchester, in collaboration with other institutes worldwide, have recently carried out a study aimed at measuring the size of the nucleus (i.e., nuclear charge radius) in...
