JILA researchers have tricked nature by tuning a dense quantum gas of atoms to make a congested “Fermi sea,” thus...
Exotic laser-produced high-energy-density (HED) plasmas akin to those found in stars and nuclear explosions could provide insight into events throughout...
An atom’s electrons are arranged in energy shells. Like concertgoers in an arena, each electron occupies a single chair and...
New research into the powerful magnetic fields which form inside the sun and cause violent eruptions could help predict solar...
Mathematicians who study dynamical systems often focus on the rules of attraction. Namely, how does the choice of the starting...
A pair of theoretical physicists, from the University of Exeter (United Kingdom) and the University of Zaragoza (Spain), have developed...
UC Berkeley physicist Norman Yao first described five years ago how to make a time crystal—a new form of matter...
An international team of physicists is proposing an addition to dark matter theory. In their paper published in the journal...
A team of physicists and engineers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) successfully demonstrated the feasibility of low-cost and...
When sound was first incorporated into movies in the 1920s, it opened up new possibilities for filmmakers such as music...
Topological superconductors are a class of superconducting materials characterized by sub-gap zero energy localized modes, known as Majorana boundary states...
Prions get mostly bad press, but they may be the keys to controlling protein synthesis in cells. Prions, proteins that...
