Physics and Astronomy

This area deals with the fundamental laws and building blocks of nature and how they interact, the properties and the behavior of matter, and research into space and time and their structures.

innovations-report provides in-depth reports and articles on subjects such as astrophysics, laser technologies, nuclear, quantum, particle and solid-state physics, nanotechnologies, planetary research and findings (Mars, Venus) and developments related to the Hubble Telescope.

Shrinking technology, expanding horizons

Compact chips advance precision timing for communications, navigation and other applications. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and its collaborators have delivered a small but mighty advancement in…

What are Hubble and Webb observing right now?

NASA tool has the answer… It’s not hard to find out what NASA’s Hubble and James Webb space telescopes have observed in the past. Barely a week goes by without news of a cosmic…

New method measures the 3D position of individual atoms

Since more than a decade it has been possible for physicists to accurately measure the location of individual atoms to a precision of smaller than one thousandth of a millimeter…

Multiparticle nanostructures for building better quantum technologies

LSU quantum researchers uncover important implications for quantum technology. In a recent publication in Nature Physics, the LSU Quantum Photonics Group offers fresh insights into the fundamental traits of surface plasmons, challenging the…

JWST captures the end of planet formation

Researchers image for the first time, winds from an old planet-forming disk which is actively dispersing its gas content. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is helping scientists uncover how…

Network of quantum sensors boosts precision

Quantum sensor technology promises even more precise measurements of physical quantities. A team led by Christian Roos at the University of Innsbruck has now compared the signals of up to…
