  Quantum sensing for particle physics using Single Molecule Magnets Quantum Sensing for Particle Physics Using Single Molecule Magnets Quantum sensing represents one of the most transformative technologies at the frontier of modern physics. When applied to particle physics, it holds the potential to detect extremely weak signals that traditional instruments often miss. One particularly promising approach is the use of Single Molecule Magnets (SMMs) , which exhibit quantum behavior such as magnetic bistability and slow relaxation of magnetization at very low temperatures. These properties make SMMs highly suitable for ultra-sensitive detection tasks , such as dark matter searches, electric dipole moment (EDM) measurements, or the detection of axion-like particles. To effectively communicate and amplify research on this cutting-edge topic across digital platforms, especially in academic networks and conferences, the use of strategically selected hashtags is crucial.

  Modeling of fluid dynamics in wiped film evaporators during evaporation Modeling of Fluid Dynamics in Wiped Film Evaporators During Evaporation Wiped film evaporators (WFEs) are widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries for the efficient separation of thermally sensitive compounds. The modeling of fluid dynamics within these systems is critical to optimizing performance, ensuring energy efficiency, and enhancing product quality. At the heart of this modeling lies a complex interplay of fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, and phase change dynamics under varying pressure and temperature conditions. In a typical WFE, a thin liquid film is created on the inner wall of a heated cylindrical surface by a rotating wiper system. As the liquid spreads, it undergoes rapid evaporation due to the enhanced surface area and short residence time, which minimizes thermal degradation. Understanding the behavior of this film requires solving the Navier-Stokes e...

  Trion and exciton superfluidity induced by the electron Fermi Sea Trion and Exciton Superfluidity Induced by the Electron Fermi Sea In the frontier of quantum materials research, an emerging phenomenon is capturing widespread attention: the superfluidity of excitons and trions in the presence of an electron Fermi sea. This novel quantum phase arises in two-dimensional semiconductor systems, particularly in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), where many-body interactions between electrons, holes, and excitons give rise to strongly correlated states. Excitons—bound states of electrons and holes—can condense into a coherent quantum fluid, and under specific conditions, even trions (charged excitons composed of two electrons and a hole, or vice versa) may participate in a collective superfluid state. What makes this especially fascinating is the role played by the electron Fermi sea. It modifies the interaction landscape, leading to trion formation and altering the screening env...

  Simulation of vortex ion generation from a cold atom ion source The simulation of vortex ion generation from a cold atom ion source represents a significant advancement at the intersection of quantum physics, atomic manipulation, and ion beam technology. Cold atom ion sources (CAIS) are revolutionizing high-precision ion generation by using laser-cooled atoms to produce ultra-bright, low-emittance ion beams. These beams offer superior spatial coherence and energy control, making them ideal for applications in focused ion beam systems, nanofabrication, and quantum materials research. Recent developments in vortex ion generation—where ions are imparted with orbital angular momentum (OAM)—have opened novel pathways in manipulating charged particles with helical phase structures. Through detailed computational physics models and numerical simulation , researchers are now exploring how vortex structures can be formed and controlled during the ionization phase. By applying external el...

  Thermal neutron shielding properties of rare-earth nickel alloy materials Thermal Neutron Shielding Properties of Rare-Earth Nickel Alloy Materials In the field of nuclear energy and radiation safety, the development of efficient neutron shielding materials is of paramount importance. Thermal neutrons, with energies below 0.5 eV, pose significant challenges due to their high penetrability and interaction with matter. Conventional shielding materials such as borated polyethylene or lead are widely used, but advancements in materials science have paved the way for more efficient and compact solutions. One such promising class of materials is rare-earth nickel (RE-Ni) alloys , which exhibit superior thermal neutron attenuation properties due to their unique structural and nuclear characteristics. Rare-earth elements like gadolinium (Gd), samarium (Sm), and dysprosium (Dy) have exceptionally high neutron absorption cross-sections. When these elements are alloyed with nickel—a metal k...

  The neural control of accurate hand force production The Neural Control of Accurate Hand Force Production The human hand is capable of executing highly precise force outputs, essential for tasks ranging from delicate surgical procedures to everyday activities like writing or gripping a cup. This remarkable capability is governed by the intricate neural control systems within the brain and spinal cord, which coordinate sensory feedback and motor output.

Cosmological constant from canonical transformation in quantum cosmology In quantum cosmology, one of the profound challenges is understanding the origin and value of the cosmological constant (Λ) , a term associated with the energy density of the vacuum that drives the accelerated expansion of the universe. Canonical transformations—a mathematical tool from classical mechanics—offer new insights into how Λ might emerge naturally within the Hamiltonian formulation of quantum gravity . Quantum cosmology involves applying quantum principles to the entire universe, usually within a minisuperspace model that reduces the infinite degrees of freedom of spacetime to a manageable finite set, such as the scale factor in FLRW (Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker) metrics. In this context, the dynamics of the universe are governed by the Wheeler-DeWitt equation , a quantum analog of the Hamiltonian constraint from general relativity. Canonical transformations can be used to recast the phase sp...

  A divertor tokamak plasma equilibrium solver based on flux coordinates In the pursuit of controlled nuclear fusion, precise modeling of plasma behavior within a tokamak is critical. One of the most challenging and essential aspects of this process is solving for plasma equilibrium—especially in configurations that include a divertor , which is used to manage heat and particle exhaust. This work presents an advanced plasma equilibrium solver that leverages flux coordinates , enabling accurate, efficient, and stable simulations of magnetically confined plasmas in a divertor tokamak configuration. The equilibrium of a tokamak plasma is governed by the Grad-Shafranov equation , a nonlinear partial differential equation that describes the balance between magnetic pressure, plasma pressure, and current density.
