University of Oslo’s leading theorist in astroparticle physics, Are Raklev, has launched a model that explains what dark matter may consist of and how one…
Four groups of scientists announced progress on a quantum-computing proposal made two years ago by MIT researchers that has the potential to lead towards the…
In a newly published study, a team of theoretical physicists from Cambridge, University College London and the University of Gdansk detail a generalized form…
The phenomenon of cathodoluminescence gave geologists an easy way to identify quartz and other minerals in rock samples. Cathodoluminescence allows a piece of quartz to…
New research indicates that leaf growth may not be as complicated as it seems. When comparing species to species, shorter trees exhibit a greater variety…
Physicists have been able to create an atomic gas that can attain a temperature below absolute zero, -273.15˚C (-459.67˚F). They were able to create this…
A newly published study suggests that the interaction between a surface and a charge packet moving parallel to it can become repulsive above a critical…
Soft tissues, like skin and feathers, aren’t usually part of the fossil record, but a new technique has found a way to bring some of…
Scientists discovered a magnetic field that can control the flow of heat from one body to another. It was first predicted 50 years ago, and…
A team of physicists at the Max Planck Institute have shown that ultrashort light pulses of extremely high intensity can induce electric currents in otherwise…
The latest data presented by scientists on Higgs boson shows that separate measurements of its properties are showing two slightly different masses. The scientists at…
New research showing that black holes have properties that resemble the dynamics of both solids and liquids may help scientists better understand black holes and…
Three years ago, Jian-Wei Pan and his colleagues were able to quantum teleport information across 16 kilometers (10 miles). This was one of the first…
As the Large Hadron Collider has been unable to find any of the particles suggested by supersymmetry, theoretical particle physicists are trying to change their…
A team of scientists working at the Large Hadron Collider found that in a sample of 2 million lead-proton collisions, some pairs of particles flew…
Scientists investigating how atoms interact with one another have now gained new insights into a type of interaction that may contribute to the advancement of…
A new tabletop experiment using a single photon was proposed to show whether space-time is made up of indivisible units. Space isn’t smooth, and physicists…
