Sensor Judges Taste of Raw Maple Syrup
Climate change is altering late-season maple syrup, but a portable plasmonic sensor could help avoid waste by detecting molecules in a tree’s sap that lead to an off-tasting batch. Continue reading
Pinpointing Problems in Transmission Power Grids
Researchers have developed an optimization algorithm to help identify the location of an electric current surge in a power grid, without knowledge of the grid’s broad structure. Continue reading
Squeezable Metal Offers a Greener Approach to Refrigeration
A system built around a metal that gains and loses heat when compressed could lead the way to the commercialization of chemical-free refrigeration technology. Continue reading

Angle and Friction Matter for Table Tennis Spin
The angle of incidence and the friction of the surface are the only factors that impact the spin of a table tennis ball after it collides with a rigid surface. Continue reading
Gravity Alters the Shape of an Evaporating Droplet
Whether sitting or hanging, the surface of a protein-containing droplet changes as the water escapes, an effect researchers link to the pull of gravity. Read more in APS Physics…
A Lab Plasma Rotates and Produces Jets
A spinning plasma ring mimics the rotating structure surrounding a black hole. Continue reading
A Record Density for Laser-Cooled Molecules
A novel laser cooling and trapping technique squeezes large numbers of molecules into a confined space while keeping them ultracold. Read more in APS Physics…
Large Photonic Processor Solves Graph Problems
A quantum photonic device can perform some real-world tasks more efficiently than classical computers. Continue reading
Light Boosts Magnetism in a Crystal
Ultrafast laser pulses drive spin alignment that strengthens a titanate crystal’s magnetism and extends it to higher temperatures. Continue reading
Characterizing Clusters inNuclear Collisions
High-energy collisions result in the formation of clusters of neutrons and protons inside atomic nuclei and in the emission of energetic ions. Continue reading
