When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and ...

Indian scientists have developed a non-invasive technique that allows real-time measurement of the local density of ...

A team of physicists has discovered a surprisingly simple way to build nuclear clocks using tiny amounts of rare thorium. By ...

Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was ...

For a long time, the Greenwald limit was accepted as a given and incorporated into fusion reactor engineering. The new work shows that precise control over how the plasma is created and interacts with ...

Persistent pharmaceutical residues such as carbamazepine are increasingly detected in natural waters, posing long-term ecological and human health risks due to their resistance to conventional ...

A deeply disturbing and controversial line of thinking has emerged within the physics community. It's the idea that we are reaching the absolute limit of what we can understand about the world around ...

Key TakeawaysJohn Clarke, a former scientist at Berkeley Lab, shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering quantum tunneling in an electric ...

Life on Earth began in a world of volcanic eruptions, violent storms, and a toxic atmosphere. Yet somehow, from this chaos, ...

Canadian rock legend Neil Young once wrote that rust never sleeps. Young used rust as a metaphor for artistic complacency, an ...

Argonne National Laboratory announced it has successfully deployed and is running a 12-qubit quantum dot device built by ...
