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 ...

In 1951, physicist Julian Schwinger theorized that by applying a uniform electrical field to a vacuum, electron-positron ...

In 1951, physicist Julian Schwinger theorized that by applying a uniform electrical field to a vacuum, electron-positron pairs would be spontaneously created out of nothing, through a phenomenon ...

FlowER uses flow matching to model chemical reaction as a process of electron redistribution, conceptually aligns with arrow-pushing formalisms. It aims to capture the probabilistic nature of ...

Scientists at IISc and Caltech have cracked a puzzle at the heart of photosynthesis: why the vital flow of electrons starts through only one side of a perfectly symmetrical protein complex. Credit: ...
