Research led by scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and Stanford University has demonstrated ...

At first glance, some scientific research can seem, well, impractical. When physicists began exploring the strange, subatomic ...

A 'boom' of light that appears when a particle exceeds the speed of light set by a medium could, in other contexts, signal a ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Sometimes to truly study something up close, you have to take a step back. That's what Andrea Donnellan does. An expert in Earth sciences and seismology, she gets much of her data from a bird's-eye ...

Scientists described the moment as a rare “wow” discovery as the system lacks disc of material normally needed to drive such ...

Researchers have discovered quantum oscillations inside an insulating material, overturning long-held assumptions. Their work at the National Magnetic Field Laboratory suggests that the effect ...

Winter jackets keep you warm by managing heat through the three classical modes of heat transfer – conduction, convection and ...

On October 8, 2024, the field of physics was plunged into controversy. That day, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for discoveries not involving black holes, cosmology, or strange new subatomic ...

Deep underground in southern China, there is a 20,000-ton tank of liquid that can detect neutrinos. Named JUNO, the detector's first results are in — and they're very promising. When you purchase ...
