A laser hit the tiny black cube, and it lurched forward almost at once. That split-second jump, caught during a zero-gravity ...
In a major breakthrough, scientists have observed electrons in graphene flowing like a nearly frictionless liquid, defying a core law of physics. This exotic quantum state not only reveals new ...
Physicists in China have simulated the effect of "false vacuum decay": a phenomenon believed to play out constantly in the ...
When laser flashes hit matter, electrons are knocked off their orbits around the atomic nuclei. This can generate extremely ...
Scientists have proposed a surprising new way to detect gravitational waves—by observing how they change the light emitted by ...
There has been considerable debate among physicists over the last 15 years about conflicting measurements of the charge ...
Researchers have, for the first time, described the properties of one-dimensional anyons and outlined how these particles can be observed using existing experimental setups.
