First predicted in Einstein’s theory of general relativity, gravitational waves are tiny ripples in spacetime generated by titanic and powerful...
Magnetic interactions could point to miniaturizable quantum devices. From MRI machines to computer hard disk storage, magnetism has played a role in...
An experiment that could confirm the fifth state of matter in the universe—and change physics as we know it—has been...
UNLV researchers have discovered a new form of ice, redefining the properties of water at high pressures. Solid water, or...
Researchers may have solved Professor Stephen Hawking’s famous black hole paradox—a mystery that has puzzled scientists for almost half a...
Contextuality is essential to explain the power of quantum computers and the security of quantum communications. The study has been...
In recent years, physicists have discovered materials that are able to switch their electrical character from a metal to an...
How can researchers use the mechanism of photoionization to gain insight into complex molecular potential? This question has now been...
Paul Scherrer Institute scientists have developed a ground-breaking achromatic lens for X-rays. This allows the X-ray beams to be accurately...
Irradiation with fast protons is a more effective and less invasive cancer treatment than X-rays. However, modern proton therapy requires...
Experimental physicists led by Gerhard Kirchmair, together with theoretical physicists at the University of Oulu, Finland, have succeeded for the...
Black holes are among the most compelling mysteries of the universe. Nothing, not even light, can escape a black hole....
