The application process for the 12th Heidelberg Laureate Forum has begun!
Young researchers in mathematics and computer science from all over the world can apply for one of the 200 exclusive spots to participate in the Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF), an annual networking conference. The HLF offers all accepted young researchers the unique opportunity to interact with the laureates of the most prestigious prizes in the fields of mathematics and computer science. Traditionally, the recipients of the Abel Prize, the ACM A.M. Turing Award, the ACM Prize in Computing, the Fields Medal, the IMU Abacus Medal and the Nevanlinna Prize engage in cross-generational scientific dialogue with young researchers in Heidelberg, Germany.
An innovative planar spoof plasmonic neural network (SPNN) platform capable of directly detecting and processing terahertz (THz) electromagnetic signals has been unveiled by researchers at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) and Southeast University in Nanjing.An innovative planar spoof plasmonic neural network (SPNN) platform capable of directly detecting and processing terahertz (THz) electromagnetic signals has been unveiled by researchers at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) and Southeast University in Nanjing.
POSTECH Professor Chulhong Kim's team develops high-speed rotational scanning PACT system for monitoring whole-body biodynamic.
Two quantum information theorists at the University of Sydney have solved a decades-old problem that will free up quantum computing power.
When a star moves around a supermassive black hole (SMBH) in a close elliptical orbit, it gets partially tidally disrupted every time it reaches the pericenter, emitting a series of luminous flares, known as partial tidal disruption event (pTDE).
A research team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) recently discovered another outburst of a previous TDE, AT 2022dbl, and confirmed that it’s highly likely caused by SMBH repeatedly tidally disrupting the same star, making it the first spectroscopically confirmed repeating pTDE.Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental physical process in plasmas, through which the magnetic energy is converted into plasma kinetic energy and thermal energy rapidly. Current sheets in turbulent plasma are the key trigger to magnetic reconnection. However, how current sheets come into being remains unresolved.
A research team led by Prof. LU Quanming and Prof. WANG Rongsheng from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) discovered that the current sheets in the region downstream of the Earth’s bow shock, magnetosheath, originated from the waves in the region upstream of the shock.
