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....
When we think of ions, we usually think of single atoms that have lost or gained some electrons, but entire...
Physicists have discovered a new way to coat soft robots in materials that allow them to move and function in...
Superconductors—metals in which electricity flows without resistance—hold promise as the defining material of the near future, according to physicist Brad...
A new discovery by physicists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) could make certain components in computers and smartphones obsolete....
For decades now, the world has become increasingly reliant on computers and sensors to do just about everything, and the...
A RIKEN physicist and two colleagues have found that a wormhole—a bridge connecting distant regions of the Universe—helps to shed...
Researchers in biomedical physics and biology have significantly improved micro-computed tomography, more specifically imaging with phase contrast and high brilliance...
Physicists in the MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms (CUA) have developed a new approach to control the outcome of chemical...
