In a recent study done at the Axis accelerator, researchers closely analyzed the decay process of the neutral food B into the charged food pair K, with the aim of examining whether this phenomenon might explain the huge difference in the distribution of matter versus antimatter in the universe

The research group of Prof. Hagai Isenberg in collaboration with a French research institute and the doctoral students Daniel Istreta and Yehuda Pilniak from the Hebrew University, published in the journal Nature Communications, produced a new study heralding a new and groundbreaking compact quantum system that allows the interweaving of an arbitrary number of photons
A light source from a single atomic layer that separates and sorts the spins of the photons emitted from the two-dimensional semiconductor. This scientific discovery will make it possible to combine spintronics and spinoptics to develop a wide variety of devices on an atomic scale (Credit: Scholardesigner co., LTD

Simulation of the experiment in which the first images of a quantum electronic crystal were obtained, the existence of which was predicted 80 years ago. The researchers saw electrons arranged as pearls in a string (red balls) along a nanowire. To observe the electrons without affecting them, a single electron (in green) carried by another nanowire was used as a sensor (scanning detector) that detected the electric fields created by the electrons in the crystal
