The early 20th century saw the advent of quantum mechanics to describe the properties of small particles, such as electrons...
Hundreds of millions of light-years away in a distant galaxy, a star orbiting a supermassive black hole is being violently...
Seemingly spontaneously coordinated swarm behavior exhibited by large groups of animals is a fascinating and striking collective phenomenon. Experiments conducted...
The first laboratory realization of the long-standing but never-before confirmed theory of the puzzling formation of planets, stars and supermassive...
“Suppose you knew everything there was to know about a water molecule—the chemical formula, the bond angle, etc.,” says Joseph...
After several years of operation, the STEREO collaboration published the final results of their antineutrino studies. With their data, the...
Heat and computers do not mix well. If computers overheat, they do not work well or may even crash. But...
An international team of scientists collaborating within the Würzburg-Dresden Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat has achieved a breakthrough in quantum research—the...
Optical fibers are the backbone of our modern information networks. From long-range communication over the internet to high-speed information transfer...
A team from Nagoya University in Japan has observed, for the first time, the energy transferring from resonant electrons to...
Eukaryotic cells—the ones that make up most life as we know it, including all animals, plants and fungi—are highly structured...
When it comes to two-dimensional materials, it’s best to expect the unexpected. Writing in Nature, researchers at Columbia find evidence...
