    Coupled non-Hermitian skin effect with exceptional points

    Effective coupling induced by AGF

    We start with a one-dimensional photonic waveguide lattice as illustrated in Fig. 1a. The lattice is composed of sublattices A and B with on-site losses denoted by \({\gamma }_{A}\) and \({\gamma }_{B}\),…

    Ghost Particles Could Boost Gold Production in Neutron Star Collisions : ScienceAlert

    The transformation of neutrinos in a neutron star merger could be crucial to shaping the way events of the collision unfold.

    For the first time, a team of physicists has simulated how neutrinos change their flavors during a merger event….
