Illuminating the Inner Workings of the Proton
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Feb 21, 2025 A team of scientists has successfully mapped the intricate forces at play inside a proton, revealing with unprecedented precision how quarks-its fundamental components-react when exposed to high-energy photons. The international collaboration, which includes researchers from the University of Adelaide, is focused on uncovering the structural complexity of subatomic particles to gain deeper insights into the forces that shape the universe. "We have employed an advanced computational technique ... read more |

Quantum Systems Show Entropy Increase, Aligning with Thermodynamic Laws
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jan 30, 2025 The second law of thermodynamics, a cornerstone of physics, posits that systems will move toward greater disorder over time. It asserts that entropy, a measure of this disorder, increases in every closed system. This principle is observed in the everyday world: ordered ice crystals melt into water, porcelain vases shatter, and other structures lose their arrangement. However, when it comes to quantum physics, there seemed to be an anomaly. Mathematically, the entropy of quantum systems appeared to remai ... read more
