Beer is one of the world’s most popular drinks, and one of the clearest signs of a good brew is...
There are high hopes for quantum computers: they are supposed to perform specific calculations much faster than current supercomputers and,...
A team of Johns Hopkins engineers has developed a new, more powerful method to observe molecular vibrations, an advance that...
A team of physicists has discovered a method to temporarily halt the ultrafast melting of silicon using a carefully timed...
Direct visualization of quantum zero-point motion in complex molecule reveals eternal dance of atoms
Most of us find it difficult to grasp the quantum world. According to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, it’s like observing a...
The ability to detect single photons (the smallest energy packets constituting electromagnetic radiation) in the infrared range has become a...
Van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” has stirred the souls of art lovers for over a century. Now, its swirling skies...
Nematic materials are made of elongated molecules that align in a preferred direction, but, like in a fluid, are spaced...
A puzzling form of superconductivity that arises only under strong magnetic fields has been mapped and explained by a research...
The ultrafast placement of an electron in a polar liquid generates collective molecular vibrations in a spherical nano-volume. The vibrations...
Physicists have used a machine-learning method to identify surprising new twists on the non-reciprocal forces governing a many-body system. The...
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is tough on electronics. Situated inside a 17-mile-long tunnel that runs in a circle under...
