Study sheds light on gauge invariance in ultrastrong-coupling cavity quantum electrodynamics
In quantum electrodynamics, the choice of gauge (i.e. specific mathematical formalism used to regulate degrees of freedom) can greatly influence the form of light-matter interactions. Interestingly,...
Study unveils new superionic states of helium-water compounds
Helium and water are known to be abundant throughout the universe, particularly in giant planets such as Uranus and Neptune. Although helium is typically unreactive at common atmospheric conditions,...
New research synthesizes different aspects of causality in quantum field theory
In current quantum field theory, causality is typically defined by the vanishing of field commutators for spacelike separations. Two researchers at the University of Massachusetts and Universidade...
Researchers try to recreate human-like thinking in machines
Researchers at Oxford University have recently tried to recreate human thinking patterns in machines, using a language guided imagination (LGI) network. Their method, outlined in a paper...
Researchers develop a new system to detect abuse in online communities
A team of researchers at Avignon University has recently developed a system to automatically detect abuse in online communities. This system, presented in a paper pre-published on arXiv, was found...
Speech recognition using artificial neural networks and artificial bee colony optimization
Over the past decade or so, advances in machine learning have paved the way for the development of increasingly advanced speech recognition tools. By analyzing audio files of human speech, these...
Study investigates pressure-induced superconducting transition in electrides
Researchers at Northeast Normal University, in China, and University of the Basque Country, in Spain, have recently carried out a study investigating the superconducting transition of electrides....
Study projects scenarios for water use reduction in thermal power plants using satellite imagery
Water and energy are closely linked, as current electricity generation methods often require water, and extracting water typically consumes energy. This connection between water and energy, also...
Testing Einstein’s equivalence principle near a supermassive black hole
The GRAVITY Collaboration, a team of researchers at several renowned institutes including the Max Planck Institute, LESIA Paris Observatory and the European Southern Observatory, has recently tested...
The first observation of a stable torus of fluid’s resonance frequencies
A team of researchers at Laroche Laboratory, Université Paris Diderot and Université de Lyon has recently collected the first measurements of the resonance frequencies of a stable torus of fluid....
