Highly charged heavy ions form a very suitable experimental field for investigating quantum electrodynamics (QED), the best-tested theory in physics describing all electrical and magnetic interactions ...
For the first time, NASA's IXPE telescope has measured X-ray polarization around a magnetar at nearly three times the level ...
Quantum electrodynamics is the best-tested theory in physics. It describes all electrical and magnetic interactions of light and matter. Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik in ...
For the last 80 years, the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which describes all electromagnetic interactions, has been a cornerstone of the standard model, withstanding the scrutiny of ...
Adapting a detector developed for space X-ray observation, researchers have successfully verify strong-field quantum electrodynamics with exotic atoms. An international collaboration of researchers, ...
Heisenberg said extreme magnetism would make nothingness bend light. A dead star just proved he was right.
A magnetar located in our Galaxy could provide one of the clearest pieces of evidence for a quantum effect predicted since ...
A tiny quantum machine can release light that is not simply wasted heat; some of that energy may still be useful for doing work. University of Basel physicists found that separating orderly, coherent ...
