Quantum mechanics and the general theory of relativity form the bedrock of the current understanding of physics — yet the two theories don’t seem to…
Photons interact on chip-based system with unprecedented efficiency. To process information, photons must interact. However, these tiny packets of light want nothing to do with…
Joseph Formaggio explains the discovery that the ghostly particle must be no more than 1 electronvolt, half as massive as previously thought. An international team…
The origin of matter remains a complex and open question. A novel experimental approach — described in Nature Physics — could be exploited to better…
High quality medical images produced using a microchip proves researcher’s fabrication method can be used to miniaturize sensing, imaging and optical communication systems. Scientists in…
Researchers experimentally determined a property of cadmium called the magic wavelength which is considered essential for the development of the most accurate clocks ever envisaged….
A team from Dartmouth College and MIT has designed and conducted the first lab test to successfully detect and characterize a class of complex, “non-Gaussian”…
Scientists illuminate secrets of a nanomaterial that is both twisted and untwisted at the same time. The material developed at University of Bath allows for…
Many natural and synthetic chemical systems react and change their properties in the presence of certain kinds of light. These reactions can occur too quickly…
New findings from University of Kansas experimental nuclear physicists Daniel Tapia Takaki and Aleksandr (Sasha) Bylinkin were just published in the European Physical Journal C….
Scientists measure precise proton radius to help resolve decade-old puzzle, resulting in York University research that confirms protons are smaller than expected. York University researchers…
Observation of the predicted non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm Effect may offer step toward fault-tolerant quantum computers. An exotic physical phenomenon, involving optical waves, synthetic magnetic fields, and…
Airplane wings, wind turbines, and indoor heating systems all struggle under the weight and chill of ice. Defrosting and de-icing techniques are energy-intensive, however, and…
An explosion is a complex event involving quickly changing temperatures, pressures and chemical concentrations. In a paper in the Journal of Applied Physics, from AIP…
Theoretical findings in a study performed by researchers with FAPESP’s support and published in Scientific Reports could be exploited in the development of quantum computing….
Researchers have successfully created a model of the Universe using artificial intelligence, reports a new study. Researchers seek to understand our Universe by making model…
A group of researchers has devised a method of sliding ice and frost off surfaces by melting the interfacial layer directly. In the future, a…
Researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology have created a device that acts like a synapse in the living brain, storing information and…
