named effects in physics

In 2010, Sir Andre Konstantin Geim shared the Nobel in physics with Konstantin Novoselov for isolating graphene, a remarkable form of carbon that is the ... Since there are no substances in a frog that exhibit significant ferromagnetic or paramagnetic effects, the diamagnetic effect becomes noticeable when ...

After a yearlong research study, the team of engineers and fluid dynamicists unraveled the physics behind a unique underwater phenomenon that's been likened to the Matryoshka doll -- the traditional Russian doll within a doll. In a study published last week in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, researchers ...

Microbiology, first place: Patrick Berry and Matthew Baharmast of James Madison High School, “The Effect of Nanotechnology in Purifying Water Supply in the Developing World.” • Physics and Astronomy, third place: Siona Prasad of Thomas Jefferson, “Estimating CO2 Emissions from a City with Direct and ...

Quantum entanglement is something that links particles in such a way that they instantly respond to and affect each other, even over a large distance. The effect is such that it appears to defy the conventional laws of physics. Hence, Albert Einstein called it a “spooky action".

The early universe has been mimicked in the lab using a ring-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of ultracold atoms. Gretchen Campbell, Stephen Eckel and colleagues at the Joint Quantum Institute at the University of Maryland expanded the size of their ultracold atomic cloud at supersonic speed ...

This effect, which could be beneficial to many energy applications, results from the near-field coupling of the electromagnetic waves radiated by the objects. But, so far, experimental demonstrations have used objects too small to have practical applications. Now, Keunhan Park, of the University of Utah in ...

But this new experiment, published today (April 26) in the journal Science, shows that the effect still occurs using even a clump of nearly 600 ... Quantum physicists love to experiment with Bose-Einstein condensates because this kind of matter tends to demonstrate the weird physics of the quantum world at ...

Cold atoms can be used to emulate physical systems that are hard to study experimentally, like supersolids, superconductors, or black holes. Now, Gretchen Campbell at the University of Maryland, College Park, and co-workers have shown that the rapid expansion of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) ...

At the University of South Florida, researchers are integrating machine learning techniques into their work studying proteins. As they report in The Journal of Chemical Physics, from AIP Publishing, one of their main challenges has been a lack of methods to identify cause-effect relationships in data obtained ...

... der Waals magnets," published in Nature Materials by Jie Shan, professor of applied and engineering physics; Kin Fai Mak, assistant professor of physics; ... This created a field-effect device that could flip the electron-spin direction in the chromium triiodide layers using small gate voltages, activating the ...

However, it appears that the game's physics have been severely downscaled compared to Far Cry 2; a game that was released ten years ago on platforms that should – theoretically – be ... Yeap, while NVIDIA is offering a nice effect, a similar effect was achieved in Far Cry 2 without requiring such a library.

This effect arises from quantum mechanics, which states that a sea of transient particles and antiparticles pervades all of space. ... A paper on which he is a coauthor, which was updated in the weeks before his death, considered the physics of multiverses, the possibility that a slew of other universes exist in ...

H&M's trend-responsive fast-fashion strategy wasn't quick enough to elude the “Amazon effect.” Hennes & Mauritz HMB, -0.88% reported last week in its 2017 .... “When H&M and others start getting bigger, they're subject to the same physics of retail.” Bahulkar agrees that H&M has to beef up its digital ...

Astronomers know when they're seeing a gravitationally lensed object because of an effect called Einstein's Ring. This is a halo of light bent around the lensed object. The astronomers were already observing the lensing event with the Hubble Space Telescope to study to the supernova Refsdal, which was ...

LETTER: A little physics lesson on the effect of very high speeds on distance. In this March 6, 2017 file photo, Britain's late Professor Stephen Hawking delivers a keynote speech as he receives the Honorary Freedom of the City of London during a ceremony at the Guildhall in the City of London.

The universe is loaded with lots of strange symmetries between seemingly dissimilar systems, thanks to similar underlying physics. Take an electrical circuit, a spring, and a swinging pendulum. These simple oscillators might look completely different, but they are governed by the same mathematical ...

These new types of stars have been dubbed "semiclassical relativistic stars" because they the result of both classical and quantum physics. One of the differences would be that the star would be horizonless – like another theoretical star made possible by quantum physics, the gravastar. There wouldn't be ...

The general reasons for this “urban heat island” (UHI) effect are not hard to understand, but a statistical analysis now establishes a connection between the magnitude of the ... Pellenq and his colleagues adapted a tool commonly used in condensed matter physics called the radial distribution function.
