Detecting the “Kick” from a Single Nuclear Decay
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Scientists have for the first time mechanically detected individual nuclear decays occurring in a microparticle. The research used a new technique. Rather than detecting the radiation emitted by the nuclei, the researchers detected the occurrence of decay by measuring the tiny “kick” to the entire microparticle that contained the decaying nucleus as this radiation escaped.

Chiral Asymmetry Creates a Path to High-Efficiency Future Electronics
Department of Energy, Office of Science

In 2D quantum materials, chiral edge states are 1D conducting channels in which electrons travel only in one direction and electron collisions are strongly suppressed. This means chiral channels act like resistance-free conductors.

Replica symmetry breaking in 1D Rayleigh scattering system: theory and validations
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Revealing the underlying patterns behind complex systems and predicting their behavior has become a focal point of current interdisciplinary research. In this study, researchers delved into the intrinsic mechanisms of complex systems behavior of photonic phase transitions in one-dimensional Rayleigh scattering systems by establishing a Rayleigh-scattering-phase-variation model with experimental realization. This work expands the current understanding of photonic phase transitions, which is an important reference value for the study of various complex systems. Furthermore, it advances the application of random fiber lasers in critical fields such as high-power laser devices.

Exploring quantum heat engines is vital for designing highly efficient power systems beyond classical limits and for understanding quantum thermodynamics. Scientists demonstrate the first implementation of chiral thermodynamic cycles and quantum state transfers in a trapped ion by dynamically encircling a closed loop excluding Liouvillian exceptional points.

Superconductivity Is Unpredictable at the Edge
Department of Energy, Office of Science

A recent study shows that the superconducting edge currents in the topological material molybdenum telluride (MoTe2) can sustain large changes in the “glue” that keeps the superconducting electrons paired. To sustain these changes, the bulk and the edge of MoTe2 must behave differently. This surprise finding will help researchers create and control anyons and aid in the development of future energy-efficient electronics.

Underground at the Switzerland-France border, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN holds the record for the world’s largest particle accelerator. Its ring alone is nearly 17 miles around. With this tool, scientists smash together subatomic particles to help them better understand the tiny building blocks of the universe. One area that scientists use the LHC to study is the quark-gluon plasma.
