An art-science collaboration tests the limits of visual technologies. Try to picture a proton — the tiny, positively charged particle within an atomic nucleus —…
Discovery of Matter-Wave Polaritons Sheds New Light on Photonic Quantum Technologies Research published in the journal Nature Physics provides a novel platform for the ‘second…
The molecules of life, DNA, replicate with astounding precision, yet this process is not immune to mistakes and can lead to mutations. Using sophisticated computer…
Scientists discover that triggering superconductivity with a flash of light involves the same fundamental physics that are at work in the more stable states needed…
The results cap 15 years of detective work aimed at understanding how these materials transition into a superconducting state where they can conduct electricity with…
Zero-index metamaterials offer new insights into the foundations of quantum mechanics. In physics, as in life, it’s always good to look at things from different…
Less than a millionth of a billionth of a second long, attosecond X-ray pulses allow researchers to peer deep inside molecules and follow electrons as…
A “beyond-quantum” equivalence principle for superposition and entanglement. Foundational Questions Institute (FQXi) funded study found a novel connection between two weird quantum phenomena–superposition and entanglement–with…
Lasers Trigger Magnetism in Atomically Thin Quantum Materials Researchers have discovered that light — in the form of a laser — can trigger a form…
A day in the life of two accelerator experts Kathleen Ratcliffe and Tien Fak Tan have cooperated over the last several years to help create…
A new and surprising duality has been found in theoretical particle physics. The duality exists between two types of scattering processes that can occur in…
New Experiment Could Confirm the Fifth Element An experiment that could confirm the fifth state of matter in the universe — and change physics as…
Researchers identify the physics that enables rapid magnetic explosions in space. When magnetic field lines of opposite directions merge, they create explosions that can release…
A new atomic nucleus 149-Lutetium, consisting of 71 protons and 78 neutrons, has been synthesized in an experiment performed in the Accelerator Laboratory of University…
