Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same ...

Quantum mechanics replaced the clockwork certainty of classical physics with something far stranger: a framework in which ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are helping to pave a path for the eventual discovery of dark matter. With new approaches to measurement in the quantum realm, ...

A mathematical equivalent of a microscope with variable resolution has shed light on why some atoms are exceptionally stable, a riddle that has persisted in nuclear physics for decades ...

Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at ...

The total energy of the ball consists of its potential energy (related to position) plus its kinetic energy (related to motion). To zero out both components, you would have to give a precise value to ...

At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

A new study reveals how intertwined forms of frustration in quantum materials can give rise to unconventional magnetic states.

The carbon filament used in Edison’s 1897 light bulb experiments generated the precise amount of heat needed to produce ...

Cooling metal bars to near absolute zero, suspending microscopic gold beads, or searching for signs that gravity might be quantum: meet the scientists hunting for gravity's elusive nature ...
