The chemically controlled chains reveal an ultrastrong attraction between electrons that may help cuprate superconductors carry electrical current with no loss at relatively high temperatures….
How Ultracold, Superdense Atoms Become Invisible A new study confirms that as atoms are chilled and squeezed to extremes, their ability to scatter light is…
MIT researchers develop a new way to control and measure energy levels in a diamond crystal; could improve qubits in quantum computers. Physicists and engineers…
Quantum entanglement occurs when two particles appear to communicate without a physical connection, a phenomenon Albert Einstein famously called “spooky action at a distance.” Nearly…
Aiming to emulate the quantum characteristics of materials more realistically, researchers have figured out a way to create a lattice of light and atoms that…
New observations of the atomic structure of iron reveal it undergoes “twinning” under extreme stress and pressure. Far below you lies a sphere of solid…
Experiments conducted in August achieved a record yield of more than 1.3 megajoules. After decades of inertial confinement fusion research, a record yield of more…
Using complementary computing calculations and neutron scattering techniques, researchers from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge and Lawrence Berkeley national laboratories and the University of…
Researchers Show New Strategy for Detecting Non-Conformist Particles Called Anyons By observing how strange particles called anyons dissipate heat, researchers have shown that they can…
An international research team with participation from Mainz and Darmstadt measures neutron form factors with previously unattained precision. All known atomic nuclei and therefore almost…
UC Berkeley physicist Norman Yao first described five years ago how to make a time crystal — a new form of matter whose patterns repeat…
In a first for particle physics, the CMS collaboration has observed three J/ψ particles emerging from a single collision between two protons. It’s a triple…
New simulations couple gyrokinetic and kinetic models to better predict plasma turbulence. For decades, scientists have been working to harness clean, renewable fusion energy, which…
In a new FLEET theoretical study published recently in Physical Review Letters, the so called ‘smoking gun’ in the search for the topological magnetic monopole —…
Theory and experiments developed at Michigan State use ‘mirror nuclei’ to probe fundamental physics of atoms and neutron stars. About 20 years ago, Michigan State…
Working Through a Mental Bloch Lightspeed is the fastest velocity in the universe. Except when it isn’t. Anyone who’s seen a prism split white light…
In the search for dark matter particles, a tabletop experiment in the heart of a Canadian mine might do the trick. The SENSEI collaboration uses…
