    Physicists measure quantum geometry for the first time

    Strategies for measuring quantum geometric properties in condensed matter. Credit: Nature Physics (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41567-024-02678-8 For the first time, MIT physicists have measured the geometry, or shape, of electrons in a solid at the quantum level. Scientists have long known how to measure the energy and velocity of electrons in crystalline materials, but until now the quantum geometry of those…

  • PhysicsIt Is Now Possible To Most Accurately Measure The Lifetime

    It is now possible to most accurately measure the lifetime of beautiful electrically neutral mesons.

    Comparison of new ATLAS results for B0 lifetime with previous ATLAS results and results from the LHCb, CMS, D0, CDF, Belle II, BaBar, and Belle experiments. Credit: ATLAS/CERN Collaboration with ATLAS at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) yields new high-precision measurements of the lifetime of electrically neutral beautiful (B0) mesons (hadrons consisting of a bottom antiquark and a down quark).…

    Researchers develop device to measure drought effects on plants

    A device that measures the effects of drought on plants. Credit: Kaunas University of Technology Drought is becoming a serious challenge year after year, affecting up to 55 million people worldwide and posing a major threat to flora and fauna. Drought stress causes biochemical and physiological changes in plants, reducing nutrient levels and damaging ecosystems, thereby impacting human health and…
