Researchers at the Flatiron Institute's Center for Computational Quantum Physics have come up with a new explanation for why water flows faster through a wider pipe than a narrower one. If validated, it could allow material designers to fine-tune flows through tiny channels, which could be useful in processes such as water purification.
The mathematicians who toiled on the famous enigma also devised powerful forms of end-to-end encryption.
There’s still a long road ahead for the observatory before it can start taking the dazzling pictures of the cosmos that scientists have been eagerly awaiting.
Two independent studies demonstrate that a formulation of quantum mechanics involving complex rather than real numbers is necessary to reproduce experimental results.
