The Mystery of the Quantum Vortex: Unveiling the Twisted Roots of Neutron Stars’ Puzzling Pulses

by
SciTechDaily

Researchers have linked the periodic pulses of neutron stars to internal disturbances influenced by superfluid vortices. A new model suggests that these disturbances follow a power-law pattern observed in several natural phenomena. Credit: SciTechDaily.com A recent study has revealed the origin of the mysterious “heartbeats” observed in neutron stars, linking them to disturbances caused by … Read more

20-year-old puzzle solved: Physicists reveal the ‘three-dimensional vortex’ of zero-dimensional ferroelectricity

by
SciTechDaily

Researchers from KAIST, in collaboration with multiple institutions, have experimentally confirmed the three-dimensional vortex-shaped polarization distribution in ferroelectric nanoparticles. Using atomic electron tomography, they mapped atomic positions in barium titanate nanoparticles and calculated the internal polarization distribution. This finding confirms theoretical predictions from two decades ago and holds potential for the development of ultra-high-density memory … Read more
