Lithium-Ion “Traffic Jam” Behind Reduced Battery Performance
Real-time in situ x-ray observations of new nickel-rich lithium-ion batteries reveal that reduced performance comes from lithium ions getting trapped in the cathode. Continue reading
Quantum Machine Learning Goes Photonic
Measuring a photon’s angular momentum after it passes through optical devices teaches an algorithm to reconstruct the properties of the photon’s initial quantum state. Continue reading
Evidence of a New Subatomic Particle
A signal from the decay products of a meson—a quark and an antiquark—comes from two subatomic particles and not one, as previously thought. Continue reading
Modeling Tissue Mechanics with Molten Glass
A glass studio becomes a physics lab for biophysicists examining the physiological tissue properties of marine microorganisms. Read more in APS Physics…
Thermal Conductivity Not Too Hot to Handle
A radiometry technique directly measures thermal conductivity in molten metals and confirms the relationship with electrical resistivity. Continue reading
