Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether ...

For decades, ferromagnetic materials have driven technologies like magnetic hard drives, magnetic random access memories and ...

New developments tackle two of the biggest challenges in plasma-wave acceleration: beam quality and bunch rate.

But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the ...

We have discovered legions of strange particles that seem to only have a ghostly existence inside materials. Even so, they ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether in a physics class, in ...

From living matter to molecules to elementary particles, the world is made of “chiral” objects that differ from their ...

Quantum sensors have become important tools in low-energy particle physics. Michael Doser explores opportunities to exploit ...

For decades, ferromagnetic materials have driven technologies like magnetic hard drives, magnetic random access memories and oscillators. But ...

As few as five electrons in a semiconductor can exhibit collective behaviour, forming a “Coulomb liquid”, according to researchers in Europe. This extends the study of correlated systems to electron ...

A new silicon material switches from insulator to metal in picoseconds. This breakthrough could speed up future computers.

Nearly a decade ago, a detector searching for ghostly cosmic particles found two anomalous signals in Antarctic ice. But scientists haven’t been able to find anything similar.
