Ultra-thin bismuth holds unexpected promise for green electronics
Electronic devices rely on materials whose electrical properties change with temperature, making them less stable in extreme conditions. A discovery by McGill University researchers that challenges conventional wisdom in physics suggests that…

Bridging Worlds: Physicists develop novel test of the Holographic Principle
Exactly 100 years ago, famed Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger (yes, the cat guy) postulated his eponymous equation that explains how particles in quantum physics behave. A key component of quantum mechanics, Schrödinger’s Equation provides…

New silver mass brings us a step closer in our understanding of the antineutrino mass
Neutrinos and antineutrinos are elementary particles with small but unknown mass. High-precision atomic mass measurements at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, have revealed that beta decay of the silver-110…

Interpretable machine learning models classify minerals via spectroscopy
ML accurately identifies spectroscopic features related to mineral chemistry
Instead of identifying a material with a single ML model, we trained multiple models to recognize a particular property of minerals in either a one-vs-all or binary…

Stabilisation of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for numerical solution via standard methods
In the previous section we have motivated why a norm-conserving dimensionless form of the LLG equation (see, Eq. (9), may lead to better numerical conservation of the magnitude of the magnetisation vector \(\left| \textbf{m}\right| =1\), without…

Parameter-efficient diffusion with neural cellular automata
This chapter describes the development and evaluation of two new denoising-diffusion models based on Neural Cellular Automata (NCA): Diff-NCA and FourierDiff-NCA. These models were developed to address the parameter inefficiencies and local…
