Imagine a clock that doesn't have electricity, but its hands and gears spin on their own for all eternity. In a new study, ...

The key test passed by sPHENIX to prove it is ready to measure the properties of quark-gluon plasma is called a "standard ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have created the first time crystal that humans can actually see, using liquid crystals that swirl into never-ending patterns when illuminated by light ...

Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces ...

Textbooks give strange, imprecise explanations of where things happen in quantum mechanics. Consistency with gravity needs a fresh approach.

“There’s a lot of meanings for ‘small,’” says Janet Conrad, a particle physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

Researchers at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have observed the magnetic nucleus of an atom flipping ...

The sPHENIX detector at Brookhaven passes its first big test, proving ready to study quark-gluon plasma born just after the ...

Physicists in Germany say they have measured the correlated behaviour of atoms in molecules prepared in their lowest quantum energy state for the first time. Using a technique known as Coulomb ...
