Harnessing energy from plasma requires a precise understanding of its behavior during fusion to keep it hot, dense and stable....
Materials scientists and engineers would like to know precisely how electrons interact and move in new materials and how the...
The awe-inspiring aurorae seen on Earth, known as the Northern and Southern Lights, have been a source of fascination for...
There are three ways to look for evidence of alien technological civilizations. One is to look out for deliberate attempts...
UNSW quantum engineers have developed a new amplifier that could help other scientists search for elusive dark matter particles. Imagine...
Many of today’s quantum devices rely on collections of qubits, also called spins. These quantum bits have only two energy...
Nuclear physicists have long been working to reveal how the proton gets its spin. Now, a new method that combines...
Splash a few drops of water on a hot pan and if the pan is hot enough, the water will...
Both literally and figuratively, light pervades the world. It banishes darkness, conveys telecommunications signals between continents and makes visible the...
Astronomers at MIT, NASA, and elsewhere have a new way to measure how fast a black hole spins, by using...
For the first time, nuclear physicists have made precision measurements of a short-lived radioactive molecule, radium monofluoride (RaF). In their...
