Large hadron collider discovers new particle that has eluded scientists since the 1960s A new particle called the pentaquark has been discovered by scientists at the Large hadron collider (LHC).
The previously unseen class of particle was predicted first to exist in the 1960s but has eluded physicists until now.
It was detected by Cern's Large hadron collider beauty (LHCB) experiment at the LHC in Switzerland. LHCB spokesperson Guy Wilkinson said:'
'The pentaquark is not just any new particle.''It represents a way to aggregate quarks, namely the fundamental constituents of ordinary protons and neutrons,
in a pattern that has never been observed before in over fifty years of experimental searches.

is constituted.''Back in 1964 American physicist, Murray Gell-Mann proposed the existence of subatomic particles called quarks.
The work earned him the Nobel prize in 1969. He claimed that the properties of particles called baryons
and mesons could be explained if they were made up of other even tinier particles-quarks. The physicists studied the way in
which an unstable subatomic particle called Lambda b turned into three other particles. They found that the production of the three new particles sometimes involved intermediate states,

made up of four quarks and an antiquark, which is the antimatter equivalent of a quark, the BBC reported.
It has taken until now to prove his idea true. The findings have been submitted to the journal Physical Review Letters.
To come to their conclusions, the international team of physicists studied the way in which an unstable subatomic particle called Lambda b decayed into three other particles.
They found that the production of the three particles sometimes involved intermediate states which have been named Pc (4450)+ and Pc (4380+.
+LHCB physicist Tomasz Skwarnicki of Syracuse University in New york, said:''We have examined all possibilities for these signals
and conclude that they can only be explained by pentaquark states.''''More precisely the states must be formed of two up quarks, one down quark, one charm quark and one anti-charm quark.'
'Scientists got excited that the particle had been found earlier in the millennium, but sightings proved to be inconclusive

whereas LHCB conducted the search with the lights on. This illustration shows an alternative layout for the pentaquark,
showing a meson particle-one quark and one antiquark-and a baryon, made up of three quarks weakly bonded together Using the LHC allowed experts to look at data from four different perspectives, giving them a multidimensional view of the transformation of subatomic particles.
All these perspectives pointed to the same conclusion the presence of pentaquarks. Wilkinson told The Guardian:'
The world's largest atom-smashing machine is most famous for proving the existence of the Higgs boson.
but its power has now been increased to a record-breaking 13 tera-electron volts (Tev)- up from 7 Tev at the time it managed to detect the Higgs boson in 2013.
British scientist Peter Higgs was awarded the Nobel prize after the discovery of the particle, which he and others predicted would exist but
'It took 50 years to find the Higgs boson and 20 years to build this machine,
Physics says particles in the quantum vacuum cannot be ionised, so therefore you cannot push against it.
Another application is the measurement of dust particles and trace gases in environmental monitoring. A further interesting aspect of these new, two-dimensional semiconductors is their anisotropic electronic and optical behavior.

or in public access mode where anyone with the hardware can soak up some electrons (controlled via an app).
Electron movement is controlled via quantum wells (a quantum well is a layer of material that constricts the movements of electrons to particular dimensions to ensure energy arrives where it meant to go).
and have reached efficiencies that are already comparable to organic LEDS in terms of quantum efficiency (photons emitted per electron injected).
and then be able to control, the flow of electrons through tiny snippets of the material.
and therefore the ease with which electrons can hop and slide from one layer to the next.
as the plotted electron density. In the present case, the researchers used fields up to 45 Tesla that were available at the National High Magnetic field Laboratory in Tallahassee.
As a graphical representation of the fractal structure of the energy spectrum for electrons in a magnetic field,
The field forced electrons at the edge of the material to move in opposite directions, and in separate lanes, according their spin.
In contrast to the unidirectional current flow of electrons in a regular metal, a material that behaves as a opological insulatorwould be useful in several spintronic applications.
While the famous Schrödinger equation (which gives the wave functions mentioned above) describes the behavior of electrons in most materials,
electron behavior in graphene is ltrarelativisticand therefore is described better using the lesser-known Dirac equation.
where electron velocity is subrelativistic, electrons in graphene composites configured with just the right alignment can flow at significantly greater speeds,
and need to be described with a different formalism. Furthermore, when many layers of graphene are stacked properly together (with associated greater strength),
by applying stronger or weaker currents to the light within the phase shifter, the number of electrons within each light path changeshich, in turn,
and then amplify the kinetic energy of an incoming particle by converting that potential energy into a larger kinetic energy added to an exiting object.
The authors note that the maximum gradient available in most clinical scanners is in around 20-40mt/m. This would produce a force on a magnetized steel particle equal to 36-71%of its gravitational force.
whereby opaque, charged particles (approx. 1 micron in size) are attracted to electrodes that posses an opposite charge.
Thus the electric field created between the two electrodes causes the flow of these particles back and forth.
The interaction of incoming light with each electrophoretic pixel (two electrodes) depends on the position of the particles relative to these electrodes,
In reference to these, the device uses electrophoresis to attract charged color particles to the top transparent electrode to preadtheir color,
The device is filled with dual-colour, dual-particle colloidal dispersion inks. It is common in e-ink displays to use sub-pixels (i e. multiple electrodes to do some fancy charged transport),
seeing that the use of organic film as the electron transport in past LED production resulted in a decreased photoluminescence and an inaccurate color reproduction.
just as in silicon, the electrons orbiting within titanium-trisulfide can be pushed easily up into the conduction band,
Its achievable bandgap also makes silicon highly absorptive to incoming energy sources like photons, and today most solar cells are based on silicon.

#New material combines photons for big solar energy gains An innovative new approach to solar energy from University of California Riverside could dramatically increase the amount of light available to contemporary solar panel designs.
They created an all-new hybrid material that takes two photons of 980-nanometer infrared light shone onto it and p convertsthem into one photon of 550-nanometer orange yellow light.
This photon has almost double the energy of the originals and more importantly, it exists in a form that existing solar panels can absorb.
which takes these long wavelength photons and combines them. The resulting, lower-wavelength photons can move on to be absorbed by the transistors of the solar panel as normal,
just as though it has been that color upon first arrival. The overall costs of solar power lie much more in installation, maintenance,
The ability to accurately convert photons between wavelengths could have a wide range of applications, from medical imaging to optical data storage,
#Flavour delivery particle can cut sugar by half and is cheaper than sugar Developed by inventor
a carrier particle is coated with sugar molecules using non-covalent bonding. This increases the surface area meaning the same sweetness can be achieved using less sugar.
"The carrier particle has been approved for use in food and beverage applications and requires no regulatory process.
The carrier particle is so effective in cutting out sugar that the end product while the same size in terms of volume-can be significantly lighter that the original product,
while a second generation particle called S2 can be used in beverages. The R&d team is looking into using the technology for salt reduction,
while a carrier particle for Xylitol, Malitol and Erithrytol has also been developed

the researchers chose a flexible particle that is nonspherical in shape, which, according to the study, has proved to be more durable and resistant to phagocytosis than a rigid spherical particle.
The shape and flexibility gives the backpack the ability to bind strongly while resisting phagocytosis to hitchhike onto monocytes
At the inflamed site, the particles would simultaneously degrade and release their drugs.""It is a good idea to get your levels checked on a yearly basis
it also collects dust particles and takes them along for the ride. To test this self-cleaning property,
Roughly half of the dust particles were removed with just three drops of water. It took only a dozen drops to leave the surface spotless.
Once inside the cell, the virus creates a long strand of a large viral protein that must be cut at specific points to release individual proteins that serve various functions in building new virus particles.
or the interaction between light and free electrons on a metal's surface. When exposed to light,
the free electrons get excited and begin to oscillate, generating heat. Once the light is off, the oscillations and the heating stop.
The light was able to heat electrons at the interface of the gold films and DNA solution ramping temperatures up staggeringly fast at approximately 13°C per second.
When a photon hits a silicon atom inside a solar cell, the excess energy frees up an electron that is later used to generate electricity.
Occasionally, though, the electron simply recombines with a silicon atom, effectively wasting the energy provided by the photon.
Recombination is proportional to the surface area of the silicon and the needles on the surface of dark silicon raise surface area so much that about half of the freed electrons are lost"in this way.
Now, a team of researchers led by assistant professor Hele Savin has managed to get around the issue, and in so doing, it has increased the record efficiency of black silicon cells by almost four percentage points, up to 22.1 percent.
These two changes meant that only four percent of the freed up electrons recombined, as opposed to the previous 50 percent.
More oxygen in the combustion chamber also results in a more complete burn of particulate matter (PM) of 2. 5 micrometers or less, also known as fine particles.
Using magnetized particles flowing through a micro-miniature network of channels, the machine runs like clockwork and is claimed to be capable of performing complex logical operations.
due to its inherent ability to maintain excitation levels that allow the freer flow of electrons.
That is, just as graphene is able to rapidly emit electrons when excited by lasers as the electrons remain at an elevated state,
it also provides a similar capability for efficient photon release in an electrically-heated situation."
"At the highest temperatures, the electron temperature is much higher than that of acoustic vibrational modes of the graphene lattice,
so that less energy is needed to attain temperatures needed for visible light emission, "said Myung-Ho Bae, a senior researcher at KRISS."
and then that causes electrons to flow in the"wrong"direction thereby increasing electric resistance and allowing a very precise read of the data that's magnetically stored in a given location."
"The faster the electrons in the material move, the greater the Lorentz force and thus the effect of a magnetic field,"explains study lead author Binghai Yan.
The electrons in this material, niobium phosphide, travel very quickly. Niobium phosphide contains superfast charge carriers,
or relativistic electrons, that move at 300 km/s (186 mi/s), which is one-thousandth the speed of light.
Some of the light is absorbed by electrons on the film's surface which causes them to jostle.
as the electrons would quickly"disappear"into a lower energy state. This meant that these cells were not a viable solution for a clean energy grid,
Now, researchers Fuqiang Liu and colleagues have created a PEC cell that includes a specially designed photoelectrode (the component that converts incoming photons into electrons.
Unlike previous designs, their hybrid tungsten trioxide/titanium dioxide (WO3/Tio2) photoelectrode can store electrons effectively for long periods of time,
and electrons in the cell,"says lead author of the paper Dong Liu.""Release of the stored electrons under dark conditions continues solar energy storage,
thus allowing for continuous storage around the clock.""The team is now working on building a larger prototype,

whose light production depends on the perovskite matrix's ability to guide electrons into the quantum dots, which then super-efficiently convert electricity to light.
#New molecular transistor can control single electrons Researchers from Germany, Japan and the United states have managed to create a tiny,
The transistor reportedly operates so precisely that it can control the flow of single electrons,
with electrons spontaneously jumping from one end of the switch to the other whether the switch is closed open
as molecular transistors are often so small that their on/off state depends on the location of a single electron.

regulating the electron's flow and leading to a functioning and reliable molecular transistor. One unusual fact observed was that the molecule orients itself in a different direction depending on its charge state and, in turn,
the orientation of the molecule has a strong effect on how the electron flows across the molecule.
If exploited, this knowledge could help us build molecular nanostructures with a very precise control over single electrons, leading to new types of high-performance semiconductors and nanomaterials r

In addition, it has better blocking qualities for low energy gamma rays and neutron radiation. Although it was better than most materials at blocking X-rays,
as the graphene patches and diamond particles rub up against a large diamond-like carbon surface, the graphene rolls itself around the diamond particle, creating something that looks like a ball bearing on the nanoscopic level. he interaction between the graphene

enough diamond particles and graphene patches prevent the two surfaces from becoming locked in state.
the electron temperature is much higher than that of acoustic vibrational modes of the graphene lattice,

In the current study, Wilkinson and his colleagues examined the decay of particles after collisions in the Large hadron collider (LHC),
The team studied how a particular baryon known as lambda B decayed into three other particles:
a proton, a particle known as J-psi and a charged kaon. However, while analyzing data from these collisions,
researchers noticed spikes that suggested the lambda B baryons took a pit stop on the way to decaying to these other three particles, transitioning into other, intermediate particles on the way."
the team concluded that these intermediate particles were made pentaquarks up of two up quarks, one down quark, one charm quark and one anti-charm quark.
Quarks come in six flavors: up, down, top, bottom, strange and charm. The researchers have submitted now their findings to the journal Physical Review Letters.
