In July, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider announced the discovery of a new particle that looked like the Higgs boson. This particle was never…
Results from a newly published study may help scientists deliberately induce the high levels of damage needed to study extreme states of matter. Researchers using…
A team of scientists and engineers report that within a nanometer-scale device, visible light can travel infinitely fast. While this won’t lead to instantaneous communication,…
A photon can act as a particle one moment, following a well-defined path like a tiny projectile, and a wave the next, overlapping with its…
Using X-ray emission spectroscopy, a team of researchers reveal chemical information about molecules before they are destroyed. Research at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory demonstrates that…
MIT researchers are working to develop an electron-cloaking material that would “hide” particles from passing electrons, possibly leading to more efficient thermoelectric devices and new…
Serge Haroche of the College of France, Paris, and David Wineland of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado, have been awarded…
A newly published study details how scientists used femtosecond X-ray pulses from a free-electron laser to capture nanoscale, light-induced changes in a material made of…
Using scanning tunneling spectroscopy, physicists studied the real-space local density of states of a two-dimensional electron system in a magnetic field and imaged the quantum…
An international team of scientists has come up with the experimental design of a space-time crystal based on an electric-field ion trap and the Coulomb…
Material scientists in Germany have claimed that they have discovered a material that can act as a superconductor at room temperature. If this is accurate,…
As large power plants are replaced by multiple photovoltaic panels on roofs, biogas systems on fields, and wind turbines on hills and offshore, scientists now…
Students are taught that quantum uncertainty is always in the eye of the beholder, but that principle might have been proven false by a new…
Scientists at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory incorporated ultra-thin bendable crystals into a high-resolution spectrometry system for monitoring the characteristics of X-ray pulses. A frustrating flaw…
Scientists have been able to generate the world’s fastest laser pulse with a beam shot for 67 attoseconds (0.000000000000000067 seconds). This breaks the previous record…
A newly published study details how MIT scientists create and detect spin-orbit coupling in an atomic Fermi gas, a highly controllable form of quantum degenerate…
By mixing a pulse of X-rays with a pulse of lower-frequency optical light waves, a team of scientists at the Berkley Lab was able to…
