Thomas Jefferson National Laboratory experiments hone in on a never-before-measured region of strong force coupling, a quantity that supports theories accounting for 99% of the…
Less than two years ago the science world was shocked by the discovery of a material capable of room-temperature superconductivity. Now, a team of University…
Scientists have constructed the smallest flow-driven motors in the world. Inspired by iconic Dutch windmills and biological motor proteins, they created a self-configuring flow-driven rotor…
Single-shot spectroscopy techniques provide scientists with a new understanding of a mysterious light-driven process. Harold “Doc” Edgerton, the late MIT professor, developed high-speed strobe-flash photography…
A new Columbia University AI program observed physical phenomena and uncovered relevant variables—a necessary precursor to any physics theory. But the variables it discovered were…
A physics puzzle is resolved through a new duality. According to traditional thinking, distorting a flat space by bending it or stretching it is necessary…
Self-organizing lasers could lead to new materials for sensing, computing, light sources, and displays by mimicking features of living systems. Although many artificial materials have…
Physicists demonstrated a way of storing quantum information that is less prone to errors by subjecting a quantum computer’s qubits to quasi-rhythmic laser pulses based…
A new analysis offers an innovative means to predict ‘cosmological signatures’ for models of dark matter. A method for predicting the composition of dark matter…
Theoretical physicists at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) have demonstrated how the coupling between intense lasers, the motion…
A new technique to measure vibrating atoms could improve the precision of atomic clocks and of quantum sensors for detecting dark matter or gravitational waves….
What is dark matter? It has never been observed, yet scientists estimate that it makes up 85% of the matter in the universe. The short…
Berkeley Lab Researchers Record Successful Startup of LUX-ZEPLIN Dark Matter Detector at Sanford Underground Research Facility An innovative and uniquely sensitive dark matter detector –…
Long predicted but never observed before, this fluid-like electron behavior could be leveraged for efficient low-power next-generation electronics. Water molecules, although being distinct particles, flow…
MIT engineers expand the capabilities of these ultrasensitive nanoscale detectors, with potential uses for biological sensing and quantum computing. With the ability to detect the…
Using Newton’s laws of physics, we can model the motions of planets in the Solar System quite accurately. However, in the early 1970s, scientists discovered…
Christoph Paus, the MIT physicist who co-led the effort to detect the particle, looks ahead to the next 10 years. July 4, 2022, marked 10…
The discovery could inform the design of practical superconducting devices. When it comes to graphene, it appears that superconductivity runs in the family. Graphene is…
