This shows a distant galaxy — visible as the smudge to the lower right — as it begins to align with and pass behind a star sitting nearer to us within the…
A ripe apple falling from a tree has inspired Sir Isaac Newton to formulate a theory that describes the motion of objects subject to a force. Newton’s…
Quark-gluon plasmas are among the subjects that have been most extensively researched by physicists in recent times. Thanks to the largest particle…
A long-lasting lake on ancient Mars provided stable environmental conditions that differed significantly from one part of the lake to another, according to a…
What do you get when you revive a beautiful 20-year-old physics machine, carefully transport it 3,200 miles over land and sea to its new home, and then use it…
Two years ago, an international team of researchers showed that by manipulating electron spin at a quantum magnetic tunneling junction — a nanoscale sandwich…
Principle investigators of the study, Artem Rudenko and Daniel Rolles, both assistant professors of physics at Kansas State University, successfully used short…
The new evidence comes from an analysis that combined surface temperatures with information about how much light is reflected off the moon's surface.
A giant gas planet – up to 50x the mass of Jupiter, encircled by a ring of dust – is likely hurtling around a star over 1000 light years away from Earth,…
For the first time an international research team under the direction of Prof. Dr. Giuseppe Sansone at the Institute of Physics at the University of Freiburg…
The research, carried out in collaboration with scientists at Lehigh University and Swarthmore College, reveals novel behavior characteristics of liquid…
In recent years, excitement has swirled around a type of quasi-particle called a skyrmion that arises as a collective behavior of a group of electrons. Because…
Graphene consists of a single layer of carbon atoms. It is transparent, harder than diamond and stronger than steel, yet flexible, and a significantly better…
However, the diversification of this platform into applications other than microcircuits and visible light cameras has been impeded by the difficulty to…
Thanks to the laws of quantum physic, a particle of light – a photon – can be in two distinct states simultaneously, comparable to a coin thrown in the air,…
Many fascinating phenomena with promising technological applications in areas such as superconductivity are linked to quantum phase transitions, but the role…
