B0 Meson Lifetime Difference Measured By ATLAS

I feel one could describe the new B-physics result by ATLAS as "stalking". A very subtle detail of the behavior of neutral B mesons has been recently measured, in search of deviations from Standard Model predictions- or for a confirmation of the ...

Schrödinger's Cat Is Not Just Alive And Dead, He's Both In 2 Places At Once

Through new experiments involving the famous Schrödinger cat state paradox, researchers have shown that a "quantum cat" can be both alive and dead, and in two places at once. The results, which involve inducing a large number of photons to have ...

Magic Of Complexity With Catalysts Social Or Metallic

Higher dimensional spaces allow configurations that are unexpected from lower dimensions. For example, four-dimensional topology escapes full classification. Since complexity is related to dimensionality, there is a certain “magic” to it. Increasing comple ...
