Pluto’s Tilt Explains Ice Sheet’s History
Climate models based on changes in Pluto’s orbital tilt suggest that the dwarf planet’s heart-shaped ice sheet continues to undergo cycles of sublimation, condensation, and reorientation. Read more in APS Physics…
A Laser-Free Method for Cooling Heavy Molecules
Electric deceleration brings a beam of the largest molecules yet to a standstill. Continue reading
Strong Currents Don’t Faze Salt Marsh Coastal Defences
A model captures the influence of plant flexibility, leaves, and current on
wave dissipation by a meadow of marsh plants. Continue reading
Real-Time Monitoring of Nanoscale Polarization Switching
Researchers have visualized the nanoscale jumps in a ferroelectric’s polarization that are thought to play a key role in how well some ferroelectric devices function. Continue reading
Research Team Unlocks Path to a Quantum Future
Developing new pathways to create and protect quantum coherence will enable exquisitely sensitive measurement and information processing devices that function at ambient or even extreme conditions. Continue reading
Direct Detection of Phonons
Using an updated superconducting particle detector, researchers can directly measure from its quasiparticle signal the number of phonons that hit the detector. Continue reading
