Today I presented a talk at COOL'25 workshop, including these simulations of a ring that can store a three-dimensional Coulomb crystal for 1/16 of a second, or more than 24000 turns. The crystal stays solid and bunched without cooling or RF. #accelerators #physics

A faster, more affordable way to produce quantum nanodiamonds holds promise for medicine and industry

An international team of scientists from three continents led by Dr. Petr Cígler of IOCB Prague has developed a method for creating light-emitting quantum centers in nanodiamonds in only a matter of minutes. In just one week, the process can yield as much material as conventional methods would produce in more than forty years.

The lesson:
What "impossible" problems in your field stopped being investigated because expert consensus closed the case? What could you unlock if you questioned fundamental limits as rigorously as you accept them?
Sometimes heresy is just premature truth waiting for desperate people willing to test it.

At the bottom of a roller coaster hill, you experience feeling heavier. This is caused by a large positive g-force from the combination of gravity and the centripetal acceleration required to make the track curve upward, which you perceive as a greater weight. #Physics

MIT physicists just found a way to see inside atoms

MIT researchers have devised a new molecular technique that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing massive particle accelerators with a tabletop setup. By studying radium monofluoride, they detected energy shifts showing electrons interacting within the nucleus. This breakthrough could help reveal why matter dominates over antimatter in the universe.

Oxford Physicists Simulate Quantum “Light from Darkness” for the First Time

Scientists have created the first real-time 3D simulations of how lasers alter the quantum vacuum. Using cutting-edge computational modeling, scientists from the University of Oxford, in collaboration with the Instituto Superior Técnico at the University of Lisbon, have successfully produced the fi

What if #mind 🧠 and #matter ⚛️ aren't opposites at all—but two sides of the same #reality 🌌?

In this #Zoomposium, #WaltervonLucadou questions the centuries-old separation of #body and #soul: it is not the #mental that affects the #physical – they are complementarily connected. An idea that could revolutionize thinking in #psychology and #physics alike.
