The language puzzle: how Physics helps unlock linguistic mysteries
June 22, 2023
The field of language dynamics, which
applies physics to linguistics, is a relatively new interdisciplinary area of
research. Physicists have successfully used their methods to study various
aspects of language. By analyzing linguistic data and using mathematical
models, physicists have ...
Unveiling the role of Coulomb interactions in high-energy electron collisions
June 15, 2023
A group of three research teams, in which IFISC
(UIB-CSIC) researcher Sungguen Ryu participated, have conducted groundbreaking
experiments demonstrating that high-energy
electrons repel each other upon collision in a beam splitter due to strong
Coulomb interactions. These results clearly show ...
