Researchers at TU Wien have discovered a quantum system where energy and mass move with perfect efficiency. In an ultracold ...

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

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 ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

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 ...

It's an unintended consequence of the Atomic Age. Dan Smith shows how nuclear testing inadvertently affected steel production ...

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 ...

In a recent social media post, Joseph Ladapo endorsed the use of structured water, which doesn't actually seem to exist.

A new chip-based quantum memory uses 3D-printed “light cages” to store light in atomic vapor with high precision. Quantum ...

Commonwealth Fusion Systems plans to tap star-like energy and is teaming up with Nvidia and Siemens to make it happen.
