A team of physicists led by Caltech's David Hsieh has discovered an unusual form of matter–not a conventional metal, insulator, or magnet, for example, but…
Within the last several years, considerable progress has been made in developing a quantum computer, which holds the promise of solving problems a lot more…
But in order to create a network with photons, you need a photon contact, a kind of transistor that can control the transport of photons in a circuit….
An international team of astronomers, led by Hakim Atek of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, has discovered over 250 tiny galaxies…
As described in Hanson's group web the Delft experiment first “entangled” two electrons trapped inside two different diamond crystals, and then measured the…
When a star comes too close to a black hole, the intense gravity of the black hole results in tidal forces that can rip the star apart. In these events, called…
IBEX uses energetic neutral atom imaging to examine how our heliosphere, the magnetic bubble in which our sun and planets reside, interacts with interstellar…
An important step towards next-generation ultra-compact photonic and optoelectronic devices has been taken with the realization of a two-dimensional excitonic…
This conclusion is based on an assessment of data collected by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the prolific planet-hunting Kepler space observatory.
Both events are widely accepted but unproven, so geoscientists are eager for more details and better dates. Many of those dates come from zircons retrieved…
If you take certain atoms and make them almost as cold as they possibly can be, the atoms will fuse into a collective low-energy quantum state called a…
Springsteen fans aren't alone if they're feeling their age, though. Some of their mementoes are as well. The baby boom generation was the first to have a…
According to new studies of a comet tail observed by NASA's Solar and Terrestrial Relations Observatory, or STEREO, the vacuum of interplanetary space is…
We can't see the wind, but we can learn about it by observing things that are being blown about. And by studying changes in a comet's bright tail of gas and…
In this new image of Jupiter a broad range of features has been captured, including winds, clouds and storms. The scientists behind the new images took…
After being produced in a collision, subatomic particles spontaneously decay into other particles, following one of many possible decay paths. Out of one…
