In a potential step toward sending small spacecraft to the stars, researchers have developed an ultra-thin, ultra-reflective membrane designed to...
In a crowded room, we naturally move slower than in an empty space. Surprisingly, worms can show the exact opposite...
Scientists have long sought to unravel the mysteries of strange metals—materials that defy conventional rules of electricity and magnetism. Now,...
More than 80 years ago, Erwin Schrödinger, a theoretical physicist steeped in the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the Upanishads, delivered...
Superconductivity is a quantum physical state in which a metal is able to conduct electricity perfectly without any resistance. In...
Together with an international team of researchers from the Universities of Southern California, Central Florida, Pennsylvania State and Saint Louis,...
Hype is growing from leaders of major AI companies that “strong” computer intelligence will imminently outstrip humans, but many researchers...
For the first time, theoretical physicists from the Institute of Theoretical Physics (IPhT) in Paris-Saclay have completely determined the statistics...
When the plasma inside a fusion system starts to misbehave, it needs to be quickly cooled to prevent damage to...
Interferometers, devices that can modulate aspects of light, play the important role of modulating and switching light signals in fiber-optic...
What happens when a quantum physicist is frustrated by the limitations of quantum mechanics when trying to study densely packed...
Metals, as most know them, are good conductors of electricity. That’s because the countless electrons in a metal like gold...
