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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
