Researchers develop unified model for Fano resonances in nanostructures

by

Researchers have developed a unified theoretical formalism proving that Fano resonances in excitonic nanostructures result from the interference between a constant background component and a resonant excitonic component. According to Nature, this framework applies across different geometries, including spheres, cylinders, and slabs, providing a consistent physical explanation for the asymmetric line shapes observed in these … Read more

Study: Black holes might split in two under extreme conditions

by
The Blueprint

Rapidly spinning black holes might theoretically split into two distinct entities under narrow physical conditions, according to a study published in the journal Physical Review D. While black holes are commonly observed merging together, reversing this process faces strict thermodynamic and energy hurdles that make natural fragmentation exceptionally difficult under standard general relativity. Entropy Barriers … Read more

First Green Star Discovered by Astronomers Challenges Stellar Theory

Astronomers have identified the first known green star, a dense white dwarf designated WD J1330+6435 that appears to glow in a shade of chartreuse due to the ingestion of rocky planetary debris. Located approximately 280 light-years from Earth in the constellation Draco, the star’s unique color is the result of its atmosphere being enriched with … Read more

Oxford physicists recreate Aharonov-Bohm effect in quantum system

by
The Blueprint

Physicists at the University of Oxford have recreated the Aharonov–Bohm effect inside a simulated quantum system using a hybrid quantum computer, demonstrating how matter and magnetic flux interact when gauge fields evolve dynamically rather than remaining fixed in the background. Building a Quantum Loop from Trapped Ions Calculating the behavior of growing quantum systems on … Read more

Vienna and Beijing teams develop first two nuclear clock prototypes

Scientific teams working separately in Vienna, Austria, and Beijing, China, have developed the world’s first two operating nuclear clock prototypes. The devices represent the next generation of atomic clocks, which were first created in 1949. Lasers interact with thorium-229 nuclei in crystals The newly developed devices are called nuclear clocks because time is calculated by … Read more

Astronomers discover second-generation planet candidate at white dwarf

Astronomers have discovered a candidate second-generation planet orbiting the white dwarf star HS 0209+0832, located roughly 270 light-years from Earth. A study published in Nature Astronomy reported that the potential gas giant is likely formed from the burned-out ashes and cast-off material of its dead host star rather than the original protoplanetary disk, offering a … Read more

Scientists Discover Hidden Magnetic State Inside Superconductor

by
The Blueprint

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal have discovered that the material YbSb₂ spontaneously breaks time-reversal symmetry upon entering a superconducting state, marking the first known instance of this phenomenon in a type-I superconductor. The findings, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, reveal that the material creates a tiny internal … Read more

Unlocking Flat-Band Physics in a Disordered Lattice: A Study of Spin-Orbit Interplay

by

Flat-band quantum materials and the combined effects of intrinsic spin-orbit coupling and nonmagnetic disorder on the extended Lieb-5 lattice are governed by strongly localized electronic states that generate unconventional thermodynamic and magnetic responses, according to recent research. Understanding Flat-Band Systems and the Extended Lieb-5 Lattice Flat-band systems feature strongly localized electronic states that can exhibit … Read more
