Scientists have observed a new microscopic mechanism enabling precise control of the magneto-optical properties of excitons in alloys of two-dimensional semiconductors. This discovery opens up ...

A physicist claims the universe’s deepest secrets can be uncovered now, through ultra-rare particle decays, without waiting ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

Time travel has always captured our imaginations, from the pages of science fiction novels to blockbuster movies that bend ...

Casimir cavities are mysterious spaces between microscopic metal plates in a vacuum. Areas of diminished energy between the plates cause them to push toward each other, as if trying to fill the ...

Quote of the day by Stephen Hawking encapsulates a life devoted to understanding the cosmos. It reminds humanity that even in ...

From “research isn’t for me” to designing gamma-ray detectors and studying in Japan—Lincoln Potts turned one small yes into a ...

Just after 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, final beams of oxygen ions—oxygen atoms stripped of their electrons—circulated through the twin 2.4-mile-circumference rings of the Relativistic Heavy Ion ...

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

The best children's museums in the country have interactive exhibits where kids want to linger, playing is encouraged, and learning is a byproduct of the fun.
