"Material grown by the Manfra group was shown to have an electron mobility measurement of 35 million centimeters squared per volt-second,
"In most materials electrons are restricted very in what they can do because they bump into atomic-level defects that perturb them,
"The material grown by the Manfra group is so pure and free from defects that it gives electrons the freedom to enter into more than 100 different phases,

#Lab scientists discover five new nuclei Lawrence Livermore scientists, in conjunction with international researchers, have discovered five new atomic nuclei to be added the chart of nuclides.
The study, conducted this fall, focuses on developing new methods of synthesis for super heavy elements.
The newly discovered, exotic nuclei are one isotope each of heavy elements berkelium, neptunium and uranium and two isotopes of the element americium.
These isotopes are distinguished from one another by the number of neutrons in the nucleus, and thus by their mass.
The newly discovered isotopes have fewer neutrons and are lighter than the previously known isotopes of the respective elements.
Due to their low number of neutrons, their structure is very exotic and therefore interesting for the development of theoretical models describing atomic nuclei. hese results really push what we know about nuclear structure to the extreme, neutron-deficient end of the chart of the nuclides,
Shaughnessy said. hen you realize that naturally occurring uranium has 146 neutrons and this new isotope only has 124 neutrons,
it shows how much more we still have yet to learn about nuclear structure and the forces that hold the nucleus together.
Scientists at LLNL have been involved in heavy element research since the Laboratory's inception in 1952 and have been collaborators in the discovery of six elements 113,114 (Flerovium), 115,116 (Livermorium), 117 and 118.
Apart from discoveries themselves, the discovery is the first proof of the new technique for production of these exotic nuclides.
For the experiment, the scientists shot at a 300-nanometer-thick foil of curium with accelerated calcium nuclei.
In the collisions studied, the atomic nuclei of the two elements touched and formed a compound system for an extremely short time.
the two nuclei involved exchanged a number of their nuclear building-blocks protons and neutrons. Different isotopes formed as the end products of this exchange.
which an electrode used for splitting water absorbs solar photons while at the same time improving the flow of electrons from one electrode to another.
"Excited electrons When building a sun-capturing electrode, scientists aim to use as much of the solar spectrum as possible to excite electrons in the electrode to move from one state to another,
where they will be available for the water-splitting reaction. Equally important, but a separate problem entirely, the electrons need to move easily from the electrode to a counter-electrode,
creating a flow of current. Until now, scientists have had to use separate manipulations to increase photon absorption
and the movement of electrons in the materials they are testing. Choi and postdoctoral researcher Tae Woo Kim found that
if they heated an electrode made of the semiconducting compound bismuth vanadate to 350 degrees Celsius
The result was a notable increase in both photon absorption and electron transport. What was not clear was exactly how the nitrogen was facilitating the observed changes.
"Galli's team found that these defects enhance the transport of electrons. But more interestingly, they found that the nitrogen that had been incorporated into the compound increased the transport of electrons independent of the defects.
Finally, that nitrogen lowered the energy needed to kick electrons into the state in which they were available to split water.
This meant that more of the solar energy could be used by the electrode.""Now we understand what's going on at the microscopic level,

"Making light-based computers isn as simple as replacing electrons with light particles-or photons-in current computers.

We then store the binary code of 0 or 1 on the'spin'of the electron,
which is associated with the electron tiny magnetic field, said Menno Veldhorst, the lead author of the research,
which has been published in Nature. The team then showed that they could use metal electrodes on these transistors to control the qubits
#Scientists say theye found a particle made entirely of nuclear force After decades of searching, scientists say theye finally identified a glueball-a particle made purely of nuclear force.
Hypothesised to exist as part of the standard model of particle physics, glueballs have eluded scientists since the 1970s because they can only be detected indirectly by measuring their process of decay.
Now, a team of particle scientists in Austria say they've found evidence for the existence of glueballs by observing the decay of a particle known as f0 (1710.
Protons and neutrons-the particles that make up everyday matter-are made of minuscule elementary particles called quarks,
and quarks are held together by even smaller particles called gluons. Also known as'sticky particles',massless gluons are described as a complicated version of the photon,
because just like how photons are responsible for exerting the force of electromagnetism, gluons are in charge of exerting a strong nuclear force."
"In particle physics, every force is mediated by a special kind of force particle, and the force particle of the strong nuclear force is the gluon,
"explains one of the researchers, Anton Rebhan from the Vienna University of Technology. But there is one major difference between the two:
while photons aren affected by the force they exert, gluons are. This important fact means that
while photons can exist in what known as a bound state, gluons can be bound together via their own nuclear force to form glueballs."
"The existence of glueball particles brings the idea that, not only can particles be forces or force carriers (i e.,
, photons), but that these massless particles are also contingent upon the force that they are made up of,
allowing glueballs to exist in a static state, "J. E. Reich writes for Techtimes. Gluons might be massless on their own,
but their interactions with each other give glueballs a mass, which, theoretically, allows scientists to detect them,
if only indirectly through their decay process. And while several particles have been identified in particle accelerator experiments as being viable candidates for glueballs
until now, no one been able to make a convincing case for any of them consisting of pure atomic force.
The closest scientists have gotten to finding a glueball is narrowing in on two possible candidates: f0 (1500) and f0 (1710),
which are called subatomic particles mesons that are composed of one quark and one antiquark each. For a while, f0 (1500) was considered the more promising candidate of the two,
because while f0 (1710) produced better results when applied to computer models, its decay process produced heavy quarks-also known as'strange quarks'.
'This was a problem, because some scientists assumed that gluon interactions did not usually differentiate between heavier and lighter quarks-something that Rebhan
and his colleagues say theye reconciled in their calculations, published in Physical Review Letters today."
"Our calculations show that it is indeed possible for glueballs to decay predominantly into strange quarks,
"he says, explaining that when the decay pattern for lighter quarks was measured also for f0 (1710),
the results agreed"extremely well"with their model. The researchers are hoping the new data from experiments at the Large hadron collider at CERN (TOTEM
"For these multi-particle processes, our theory predicts decay rates which are quite different from the predictions of other, simpler models.

the researchers have proposed that electromagnetic waves are generated not only from the acceleration of electrons, but also from a phenomenon known as symmetry breaking.
The phenomenon of radiation due to electron acceleration, first identified more than a century ago, has no counterpart in quantum mechanics,
where electrons are assumed to jump from higher to lower energy states. These new observations of radiation resulting from broken symmetry of the electric field may provide some link between the two fields.
which state that electromagnetic radiation is generated by accelerating electrons. However, this theory becomes problematic when dealing with radio wave emission from a dielectric solid, a material
which normally acts as an insulator, meaning that electrons are not free to move around. Despite this
The researchers determined that the reason for this phenomenon is due to symmetry breaking of the electric field associated with the electron acceleration.
Symmetry breaking can also apply in cases such as a pair of parallel wires in which electrons can be accelerated by applying an oscillating electric field."
The electromagnetic radiation emitted from dielectric materials is due to accelerating electrons on the metallic electrodes attached to them
