Microscopic turbulence in plasma can trigger macroscopic structural changes. In complex physical systems, such cross-scale ...

PARIS (AP) — In his final years, the only thing connecting the brilliant physicist to the outside world was a couple of inches of frayed nerve in his cheek. As slowly as a word per minute, Stephen ...

“The way they are able to see that the resulting geometry is Kerr is quite powerful,” says Edgar Shaghoulian, a theoretical physicist at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who was not involved ...

A physics professor at the University of Nevada, Reno and his colleagues have identified quantum geometry as an opportunity to increase the superconducting temperature of two-dimensional ...

A simple yet intuitive approach to tracking tiny, quantum mechanical particles could inform the next breakthrough in quantum technology.

Science is a story of coming up with theories then doing our best to disprove them. That is especially true for theories on a ...

Scientists have taken a major leap towards making an entirely new type of clock — one based on tiny shifts in energy in an atomic nucleus. In principle, a nuclear clock could be even more precise than ...

String theory remains our best candidate for a theory of everything, but where can it be tested? By studying black holes, says Marika Taylor. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...
