Einstein was not unfamiliar with mathematical difficulties. He found it difficult to define energy in a manner that respected both the rule of energy conservation…
Study by the University of Bonn and the TU Darmstadt suggests errors in the interpretation of older measurements. A few years ago, a novel measurement…
The new qubits stay in “superposition” for up to 10 seconds, and could make a promising foundation for quantum computers. MIT physicists have discovered a…
A team of mathematicians and physicists has discovered how ice formations are shaped by external forces, such as water temperature. Its newly published research may…
“Quantum friction” slows water flow through carbon nanotubes, resolving long-standing fluid dynamics mystery. For 15 years, scientists have been baffled by the mysterious way water…
Work has potential applications in memory storage and demonstrates a rare form of matter. With the help of a “playground” they created for observing exotic…
Interfacial diffusion of nanoparticles strongly affected by their shape and surface coating. Named for a Roman god, Janus particles refer to nanoparticles that possess surfaces…
New method from Clemson University researcher, enabled by Frontera supercomputer, helps explain role of phonons in copper-based superconductivity. Researchers have known about high-temperature superconducting copper-based…
Sensor network GNOME publishes comprehensive data in Nature Physics for the first time — Nine stations in six countries involved. An international team of researchers…
Serrated edge of owl wings makes them quieter than other birds, can help inform airfoil designs. Trailing-edge noise is the dominant source of sound from…
Humans experience the world in three dimensions, but a collaboration in Japan has developed a way to create synthetic dimensions to better understand the fundamental…
Can machine learning be used to uncover the secrets of the quark-gluon plasma? Yes — but only with sophisticated new methods. It could hardly be…
A duo of theorists proposes a new theory to explain both the surprisingly small mass of the Higgs boson and the puzzling symmetry properties of…
A Lancaster physicist has proposed a radical solution to the question of how a charged particle, such as an electron, responded to its own electromagnetic…
Cosmic physics mimicked on table-top as graphene enables Schwinger effect. Researchers at The University of Manchester have succeeded in observing the so-called Schwinger effect, an…
Like a work of art enshrined in a museum, some stones end up on a pedestal of ice in nature, with no human intervention. This…
Associate Professor Jonathan Boreyko and graduate fellow Mojtaba Edalatpour have made a discovery about the properties of water that could provide an exciting addendum to…
