Quantum Mechanics is a strange theory. Richard Feynman said “I think it is safe to say nobody understands quantum mechanics”. So why is it so popular if nobody understands it? How is this the basis for all of our physical knowledge of particles and their interactions? An interview The Rational View

Do you like magnetic order but dislike having your spins near each other, cluttering up your crystals? Why not take a look at Cr[Bi(SCN)6] ?

Nanoparticles and large molecules are everywhere in advanced materials and pharmaceutical products. From touchscreens to protein drugs, the stabilisation of these particles is central to their ability to perform their required function. For instance, vaccine formulations, which use proteins or nuc…

C’est avec une immense tristesse que l’ILL a appris le décès de Philippe Nozières, le 15 juin dernier, à l’âge de 90 ans.Membre du groupe théorie de ILL dès 1972, il en avait longtemps été responsable et était resté son incontestable figure tutélaire. C’est un grand scientifique qui vient de nous quitter.Arrivé à l’ILL alors que démarraient les toutes premières expériences, il a fait profiter l’i…

Single-event effects (SEEs), which are mainly induced by neutron particles, can be responsible for soft errors. SEEs are taken into account during design phase of Avionics Equipment to avoid impact on reliability and safety.  As the functionality of avionic systems increases, aircrafts are embarking more and more advanced microprocessor and semiconductor memory devices. Complex SEE failures have …

Des chercheurs de l'Irig réalisent des études de diffusion des neutrons sur le pnicture de fer-nickel-arsenic, un matériau supraconducteur à des températures moins basses que celles classiquement rencontrées. Ils sont parvenus à sonder ce composé à l’échelle atomique et leurs résultats pourraient favoriser la proposition d'un mécanisme commun à tous les matériaux supraconducteurs.

An old "flaw" of the famous double-slit experiment has now been corrected at TU Wien in a cooperation with Hiroshima University: A single neutron moves along two paths simultaneously, in clearly quantifiable proportions. Courtesy of TU Wien.
