Periodic table of shapes
(Preview)
Periodic table of shapes to give a new dimension to maths Mathematicians are creating their own version of the periodic table that will provide a vast directory of all the possible shapes in the universe across three, four and five dimensions, linking shapes together in the same way as the periodic t...

Quantum Cosmology
(Preview)
Title: Rescuing the Born Rule for Quantum Cosmology Authors: Joshua H. Cooperman Page has recently argued that the Born rule does not suffice for computing all probabilities in quantum cosmology. He further asserts that the Born rule's failure gives rise to the cosmological measure problem. Her...

Heavy Squarks
(Preview)
Title: Heavy Squarks at the LHC Authors: JiJi Fan, David Krohn, Pablo Mosteiro, Arun M. Thalapillil, Lian-Tao Wang The LHC, with its seven-fold increase in energy over the Tevatron, is capable of probing regions of SUSY parameter space exhibiting qualitatively new collider phenomenology. Here...

Heavy fermions
(Preview)
For decades physicists have been fascinated and frustrated by "heavy fermions" -- electrons that move through a conductor as if their mass were up to 1,000 times what it should be. Now for the first time scientists have produced images of heavy fermion behaviour and resolved a theoretic...

Partition numbers
(Preview)
For centuries, some of the greatest names in math have tried to make sense of partition numbers, the basis for adding and counting. Many mathematicians added major pieces to the puzzle, but all of them fell short of a full theory to explain partitions. Instead, their work raised more questions about...

Complex Weyl-Cartan Geometry
(Preview)
Title: Intrinsic Dirac Behaviour of Scalar Curvature in a Complex Weyl-Cartan Geometry Authors: J. E. Rankin The "spin-up" and "spin-down" projections of the second order, chiral form of Dirac Theory are shown to fit a superposition of forms predicted in an earlier classi...

SIMBA collaboration
(Preview)
Title: Status of SIMBA Authors: Florian U. Bernlochner, Heiko Lacker, Zoltan Ligeti, Iain W. Stewart, Frank J. Tackmann, Kerstin Tackmann The goal of the SIMBA collaboration is to provide a global fit to the available data in inclusive B -> X_s gamma and B -> X_u l nu decays. By performing a glo...

Brans-Dicke theory
(Preview)
Title: Dynamics of false vacuum bubbles in Brans-Dicke theory Authors: Bum-Hoon Lee, Wonwoo Lee, Dong-han Yeom We study the dynamics of false vacuum bubbles in the Brans-Dicke theory of gravity by using the thin shell or thin wall approximation. We consider a false vacuum bubble that has a differe...

Keplerian orbits

Title: First-Order Special Relativistic Corrections to Kepler's Orbits Authors: Tyler J. Lemmon, Antonio R. Mondragon Beginning with a Lagrangian that is consistent with both Newtonian gravity and the momentum-velocity relation of special relativity, an approximate relativistic orbit eq...

Brane Holes
(Preview)
Title: Brane Holes Authors: Valeri P. Frolov, Shinji Mukohyama The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that in models with large extra dimensions under special conditions one can extract information from the interior of 4D black holes. For this purpose we study an induced geometry on a test brane in...

Physicists grow pleats in two-dimensional curved spaces A design feature well known in skirts and trousers has now been identified in curved, two-dimensional crystals. As University of Chicago physicist William Irvine and his colleagues report in this week's Nature, crystalline arrays of mic...

Second law of thermodynamics
(Preview)
Demonic device converts information to energy The laws of physics say that you can't get energy for nothing -- worse still, you will always get out of a system less energy than you put in. But a nanoscale experiment inspired by a nineteenth-century paradox that seemed to break those laws now shows tha...

GRETINA

GRETINA Moves Into Its Cave Part of what fascinates scientists about nuclear physics and chemistry is learning just how the natural elements came into being. All the elements heavier than iron - over three-quarters of the entries in the periodic table - were created by exploding stars. While their...

Anyons

Non-Abelian anyons It is well known that a wave function of two identical bosons is symmetric upon their exchange, while it is antisymmetric for two fermions. However, particles confined to two dimensions arent limited to obeying the exchange rules of bosons and fermions. In two dimensions, swap...
