Nanoscientists at Northwestern University have developed a blueprint to fabricate new heterostructures from different types of 2-D materials. 2-D materials are single-atom layers that can…
Even after the direct measurement of their gravitational waves, there are still mysteries surrounding black holes. What happens when two black holes merge, or when…
A quantum internet promises completely secure communication. But using quantum bits or qubits to carry information requires a radically new piece of hardware – a…
The Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment (PROSPECT) has completed the installation of a novel antineutrino detector that will probe the possible existence of a…
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory made the first observations of waves of atomic rearrangements, known as phasons, propagating supersonically through…
The prestigious journal Science has echoed a novel experiment in the field of quantum physics in which several members of the Quantum Information Theory and…
A study led in part by physicists at the Indiana University Center for the Exploration of Energy and Matter could provide new insight into the…
New research gives insight into a recent experiment that was able to manipulate an unprecedented number of atoms through a quantum simulator. This new theory…
The world’s cutting-edge particle accelerators are pushing the extremes in high-brightness beams and ultrashort pulses to explore matter in new ways. To optimize their performance…
Professor Stephen Hawking’s final theory on the origin of the universe, which he worked on in collaboration with Professor Thomas Hertog from KU Leuven, has…
Yale physicists have uncovered hints of a time crystal — a form of matter that “ticks” when exposed to an electromagnetic pulse — in the…
Light controlled current transport by charged atoms, now demonstrated for the first time, makes new applications conceivable. Light makes some materials conductive in a previously…
An international team of physicists has managed for the first time to experimentally observe a transition between two different states of matter: a propagating polariton-soliton…
Researchers from Yale University have completed the first end-to-end quantum data transmission ever done on demand using novel “pitch-and-catch” technologies. Yale’s latest work expanding the…
Physicists at the University of Warwick have published new research in the Journal of Science that could literally squeeze more power out of solar cells…
Researchers playing with a cloud of ultracold atoms uncovered behavior that bears a striking resemblance to the universe in microcosm. Their work, which forges new…
Theoretical physicists used simulations to explain the unusual readings collected in 2009 by the Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) mission. The origin…
The term “superfluid quasicrystal” sounds like something a comic-book villain might use to carry out his dastardly plans. In reality, it’s a new form of…
