To solve a long-standing puzzle about how long a neutron can “live” outside an atomic nucleus, physicists entertained a wild...
Life (as we know it) is based on carbon. Despite its ubiquity, this important element still holds plenty of secrets,...
A team of quantum computer physicists at UNSW Sydney has engineered a quantum processor at the atomic scale to simulate...
Symmetries make the world go round, but so do asymmetries. A case in point is an asymmetry known as charge–parity...
A “dark” environment was created at the Radioactive Ion Beam Line in Lanzhou (RIBLL), China, to look for a faint...
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new statistical tool that they have used...
Projected growth in rocket launches for space tourism, moon landings, and perhaps travel to Mars has many dreaming of a...
Flashes of what may become a transformative new technology are coursing through a network of optic fibers under Chicago. Researchers...
James Vary has been waiting for nuclear physics experiments to confirm the reality of a “tetraneutron” that he and his...
Quantum sensors, which detect the most minute variations in magnetic or electrical fields, have enabled precision measurements in materials science...
To human eyes, the night sky between the stars appears dark, the void of space. But X-ray telescopes capture a...
Physicists at The Australian National University (ANU) have developed tiny translucent slides capable of producing two very different images by...
