A new publication by the PHENIX Collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) provides definitive evidence that gluon “spins”...
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...
Developing commercial fusion energy requires scientists to understand sustained processes that have never before existed on Earth. But with so...
The discovery of the quantum Hall effects in the 1980s revealed the existence of novel states of matter called “Laughlin...
A new type of miniature atomic clock could provide better timing over the span of weeks and months compared with...
Physicists at the University of Konstanz have generated one of the shortest signals ever produced by humans: Using paired laser...
Researchers from the UvA Institute of Physics and ENS de Lyon have discovered how to design materials that necessarily have...
Physicists make new predictions about the collision of heavy ions at very high relativistic energies
When two heavy ions collide at very high relativistic energies, they penetrate one another, during which they become excited and...
