Towards meaningful diversity, equity and inclusion in physics learning environments Nat. Phys. (IF 19.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Alexandru Maries, Chandralekha Singh
Physics is one of the least diverse of all science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines with damaging stereotypes about who belongs and who can excel in it. Physics learning environments are generally not inclusive or equitable, with students from historically marginalized groups often reporting an unwelcoming climate. In general, the culture of physics is competitive with a dearth

Fruity blues Nat. Phys. (IF 19.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Bart Verberck
So-called plant epicuticular waxes are well known for their self-ordering, self-repairing and self-cleaning properties, their hydrophobicity, and for resisting insect and microbial pathogens. But the optical characteristics of these surface coatings have not been studied in great detail. This, and the observation that blueberry juice is dark red rather than blue, led Middleton and colleagues to speculate

Batter quality Nat. Phys. (IF 19.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Karen Mudryk
The team developed a multiphase transport framework to investigate how the main ingredients of a cupcake — water, sugar and fat — influence performance metrics such as oven rise, moisture content and colour. They modelled the batter as a porous medium subjected to heat transfer, viscoelastic deformation, water evaporation and carbon dioxide generation from the baking powder. During baking, conduction

Honesty is being put through the mill Nat. Phys. (IF 19.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Mark Buchanan
Of course, some papers do little more than criticize, picking holes in previous arguments, or showing flaws in data analysis or a lack of full consideration of all possible interpretations. Such criticisms can sometimes be a little brutal, but these works are also ultimately positive — science depends on errors being challenged and ultimately corrected, even if this often takes some time and bruises

Computing in physics education Nat. Phys. (IF 19.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Marcos D. Caballero, Tor Ole B. Odden
Computing is central to the enterprise of physics but few undergraduate physics courses include it in their curricula. Here we discuss why and how to integrate computing into physics education.

Racial equity in physics education research Nat. Phys. (IF 19.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Geraldine L. Cochran, Simone Hyater-Adams, Miguel Rodriguez, Ximena C. Cid, Diana Sachmpazidi, Katemari Rosa, Ramón S. Barthelemy
Injustices and oppression are pervasive in society, including education. An intersectional, equity-oriented approach can help remove systemic obstacles and improve the experience of marginalized people in physics education through decolonial and critical race lenses.

Quantum interference effects in a 3D topological insulator with high-temperature bulk-insulating behavior Appl. Phys. Rev. (IF 15.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Weiyao Zhao, Kaijian Xing, Lei Chen, Thi-Hai-Yen Vu, Golrokh Akhgar, Yahua He, Abdulhakim Bake, Xiaolin Wang, Julie Karel
The Bi2Se3-family of 3D topological insulators (3DTI) exhibit insulating bulk states and surface states presenting a Dirac cone. At low temperatures, the conduction channels through the bulk of the material are fully gapped, making 3DTIs perfect systems to study the 2D transport behavior of Dirac fermions. Here, we report a 3DTI Bi1.1Sb0.9STe2 with a reduced level of defects, and thus, high-temperature

High-mobility wide bandgap amorphous gallium oxide thin-film transistors for NMOS inverters Appl. Phys. Rev. (IF 15.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-13 Yong Zhang, Chi-Hsin Huang, Kenji Nomura
Wide bandgap gallium oxide thin-film transistor (TFT) is promising for next-generation sustainable energy-efficient power electronics. In particular, amorphous oxide channel exhibits inherent advantages on mass productions based on a low-temperature processability compatible with cost-effective large-sized glass. Here, we developed hydrogen defect termination to produce amorphous-GaOx (a-GaOx) channel

Virtual Quantum Broadcasting Phys. Rev. Lett. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-12 Arthur J. Parzygnat, James Fullwood, Francesco Buscemi, Giulio Chiribella
The quantum no-broadcasting theorem states that it is impossible to produce perfect copies of an arbitrary quantum state, even if the copies are allowed to be correlated. Here we show that, although quantum broadcasting cannot be achieved by any physical process, it can be achieved by a virtual process, described by a Hermitian-preserving trace-preserving map. This virtual process is canonical: it

Bounding the Amount of Entanglement from Witness Operators Phys. Rev. Lett. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-12 Liang-Liang Sun, Xiang Zhou, Armin Tavakoli, Zhen-Peng Xu, Sixia Yu
We present an approach to estimate the operational distinguishability between an entangled state and any separable state directly from measuring an entanglement witness. We show that this estimation also implies bounds on a variety of other well-known entanglement quantifiers. This approach for entanglement estimation is then extended to both the measurement-device-independent scenario and the fully

Bootstrapping Deconfined Quantum Tricriticality Phys. Rev. Lett. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-12 Shai M. Chester, Ning Su
The paradigmatic example of deconfined quantum criticality is the Neel to valence bond solid phase transition. The continuum description of this transition is the N=2 case of the CPN−1 model, which is a field theory of N complex scalars in 3D coupled to an Abelian gauge field with SU(N)×U(1) global symmetry. Lattice studies and duality arguments suggest the global symmetry of the CP1 model is enhanced
