Whereas the electric field between electrically charged particles decreases rapidly as those particles are separated, the gluon field between a pair of color charges forms a narrow flux tube (or string) between them. Because of this behavior of the gluon field, the strong force between the particles is constant regardless of their separation ...
The Breit–Wheeler process is the creation of an electron–positron pair following the collision of two high-energy photons (gamma photons). The nonlinear Breit–Wheeler process or multiphoton Breit–Wheeler is the creation of an electron-positron pair from the decay of a high-energy photon (gamma photon) interacting with a strong electromagnetic field such as a laser.
In atomic physics, spin–orbit coupling, also known as spin-pairing, describes a weak magnetic interaction, or coupling, of the particle spin and the orbital motion of this particle, e.g. the electron spin and its motion around an atomic nucleus. One of its effects is to separate the energy of internal states of the atom, e.g. spin-aligned and ...
The proposal to use pulsars as gravitational wave (GW) detectors was originally made by Mikhail Sazhin [4] and Steven Detweiler [5] in the late 1970s. The idea is to treat the solar system barycenter and a galactic pulsar as opposite ends of an imaginary arm in space. The pulsar acts as the reference clock at one end of the arm sending out ...
The heavier of the two lies in the "mass gap" between neutron stars and black holes. The pair are located in the globular cluster NGC 1851. [49] [50] Two insect-like robots, a mini-bug and a water strider, are reported as being the smallest, lightest, and fastest fully-functional micro-robots ever created. [51] [52]
By Tim Hepher and Giulia Segreti. PARIS/ROME (Reuters) -Europe's Airbus, Thales and Leonardo are exploring plans to set up a new joint space company as they look to compete with Elon Musk's Starlink.

In physics, a pair potential is a function that describes the potential energy of two interacting objects solely as a function of the distance between them. [ 1 ] Some interactions, like Coulomb's law in electrodynamics or Newton's law of universal gravitation in mechanics naturally have this form for simple spherical objects.
