“#Supernovae could enable the discovery of new Muonic physics” Artistic illustration of SN1987a. Credit: NRAO/AUI/NSF, B. Saxton. A supernova, the explosion of a white-dwarf or massive star, can create as much light as billions of normal stars. This transient astronomical phenomenon can occur at any point after a star has reached its final evolutionary stages….

#Beating noise via superposition of order

“#Beating noise via superposition of order” Credit: CC0 Public Domain Information can successfully be transmitted through noisy channels using quantum mechanics, according to new research from The University of Queensland and Griffith University. We all know it’s impossible to take a picture through thick smoke or fog—physicists would say, ‘it’s impossible to send information through…
