Researchers at UBC have found a way to mimic the elusive Schwinger effect using superfluid helium, where vortex pairs appear out of thin films instead of electron-positron pairs in a vacuum. Their ...

Moving excitons with light and a nano-ridge could help bridge optics and electronics, enabling new devices and faster, more ...

One study says that fall, when the earth tends to be relatively damp, is one of the best seasons for grounding (along with ...

Superfluid helium reveals a manageable analog to the Schwinger effect. It deepens understanding of vortices and quantum ...
