Non-reciprocity: The physics of letting waves go one way but not the other

There are many technologies that need signals to be amplified, and are thus susceptible to strong back-reflections. They will all benefit from the use of non-reciprocity, a new and emerging area of physics research that is focused on preventing back-reflection, backpropagation, and, in general, on allow electromagnetic signals to travel…

The ultra-careful quest to find the shape of the electron’s charge

Physicists use extreme precision tests to search for flaws in the Standard Model. A new study used a strong electric field in the molecule hafnium fluoride to measure the electric dipole moment of its valence electrons, and concluded by finding no evidence of 'new physics'. This result precludes the existence…
