Corners Are No Barrier to Imaging Tiny Objects
An update to a technique for imaging around corners allows researchers to capture objects out of the line of sight that have a width of a few human hairs, 100 times tinier than previous demonstrations. Read More »
Pinpointing the Roots of Extreme Weather Events
A statistical method for fingerprinting the patterns of heat waves and cold spells could reveal whether climate change caused an extreme weather event. Read More »
Balding Black Holes Lose Their Magnetic Hair
First-principles plasma simulations show that black holes can’t keep their magnetic fields. Read More »
Tin Qubits Give Diamond a New Shine
Nanophotonic devices based on tin-vacancy qubits in diamond show promise as building blocks of quantum repeaters, an important step toward the realization of long-range quantum networks. Read More »
Ricocheting Waves Pinpoint an Object’s Location
An echo chamber captures small-scale information about an object without the need for up-close probing. Read More »
More than Just a Woman Physicist
Approaches that consider the intersection of multiple social and personal identities are urgently needed to understand why women are underrepresented in physics. Read More »
Fixing a Physics Culture Problem
Efforts to improve the climate for women in physics departments take many forms. None should focus on changing its women, some physicists say. Read More »
Magnons Dampen Skyrmion Motion
Adding a friction term to models helps them better account for how spin textures evolve experimentally at room temperature. Read More »
Spin Control Without Magnetic Fields
Researchers demonstrate that they can control the polarization direction of a spin current without having to apply a magnetic field, which could aid in implementing energy-efficient spintronics devices. Read More »
