Theory of all matter physicists among 2023 Breakthrough prize winners – The Guardian
Science prizes Immunologists behind pioneering cancer therapy also among recipients of most lucrative prize in science Thu 14 Sep 2023 09.00 EDT Two physicists who played a key role in advancing a theory that describes the basis of all matter and a pair of immunologists who developed a pioneering cancer therapy that is currently being investigated as a treatment for autoimmune disease are among the winners of the most lucrative prize in science. Founded in 2012, the Breakthrough prize is the worlds largest international science prize, with the winners of the five main awards three in life sciences, one in fundamental physics, and one in mathematics each receiving a $3m (2.4m) prize Prof John Cardy, an emeritus fellow at the University of Oxford, shares this years physics prize with Alexander Zamolodchikov for their contributions to statistical physics and quantum field theory a theoretical framework that describes how different states of matter may be described by fluctuating fields, analogous to magnetic and electric fields

Scalable multipartite entanglement achieved with ultracold atoms in optical lattice – Phys.org
This article has been reviewed according to ScienceX's editorial process and policies. Editors have highlighted the following attributes while ensuring the content's credibility: fact-checked peer-reviewed publication proofread by Chen Yehong , University of Science and Technology of China close Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with researchers from Tsinghua University, led by Ma Xiongfeng, and Fudan University, led by Zhou You, have achieved significant advancements in the preparation and measurement of scalable multipartite entangled states. Using ultra-cold atoms trapped in optical lattices, the research team successfully prepared multi-atom entangled states by creating a two-dimensional atomic array, generating entangled atom qubit pairs, and sequentially connecting these entangled pairs
Higher harmonics and supercontinuum generated from the Kerr … – Nature.com
Following Kerr21, Buckingham22, 23, Duguay28, and Alfano et al.1, 4, the general form for the index of refraction based on the index of refraction becomes electric field E dependent: $$n= {n}_{0 }+ {n}_{2}{E(t)}^{2},$$ (1) where n0 is the index of refraction, n2 is the nonlinear index from various mechanisms, and E is the electric field. Our ansatz is that the index of refraction (n) is a function of angular frequency () and time (t): n(,t)
Neutrino-Photon Interactions: Unlocking the Mysteries of Particle … – SciTechDaily
New research has discovered new interactions between neutrinos and photons, potentially shedding light on mysteries in particle physics and solar phenomena. Elusive fundamental particles called neutrinos are predicted to interact unexpectedly with photons under extreme conditions. Research at Hokkaido University has revealed that elusive particles called neutrinos can interact with photons, the fundamental particles of light and other electromagnetic radiation, in ways not previously detected.

Experiments Support Theory for Exotic Kagome States – Physics
September 15, 2023• Physics 16, s135 The observation of Fermi pockets in the Fermi surface of exotic superconductors provides a major step toward explaining some mysterious electronic states. One of the goals of condensed-matter physicists is to catalog and explain the wide array of electronic states that can appear in materials, improving researchers understanding of important phenomena such as superconductivity. In recent years, experimentalists have discovered several unexpected exotic electronic states in materials called kagome superconductors, prompting intense debate over the nature of these states.
Jordan Peterson suggests it’s time to ‘scrap banks’ and use Bitcoin – Finbold – Finance in Bold
Dr. Jordan Peterson a best-selling author and well-known Canadian psychologist, with over 4.6 million followers on X sparked a debate on September 14, about the unbanking movement and Bitcoin (BTC) being a tool to scrap banks. Notably, Petersons post was made in response to Australian news regarding Macquarie Banks branches moving to scrap cash, cheque, and phone payment services
