Imagine the explosive disturbance caused by a jet going supersonic. A similar shock wave occurs when subatomic particles known as...
Isaac Newton formulated his theory of gravity as an action at a distance: a planet instantly feels the influence of...
Using a new technique, researchers at the University of Basel have succeeded in cooling a small membrane down to temperatures...
What good is a powerful computer if you can’t read its output? Or readily reprogram it to do different jobs?...
Twistronics isn’t a new dance move, exercise equipment, or new music fad. No, it’s much cooler than any of that....
Researchers at MPQ in Garching, together with a team from TU Munich, have excited erbium atoms embedded in crystalline silicon...

Last year, scientists drove up Mauna Loa volcano on Hawai’i, aimed a laser at a reflector positioned on Haleakala peak...
Fifteen years ago, an alternative technique to look for the elusive Majorana particles was conceived theoretically. But no one carried...
A team led by a physicist from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) recently developed a new quantum theory that...
The cosmos is a unique laboratory for testing the laws of physics, in particular those of Euler and Einstein. Euler...
Under certain conditions—usually exceedingly cold ones—some materials shift their structure to unlock new, superconducting behavior. This structural shift is known...
