Four kinematic elements form the foundation for a quantitative solution to a long-standing paradox of why a spiraling football’s nose follows the ball’s trajectory. Credit:…
A laser optical pulse (blue) enters from the left into the hollow-core fiber filled with nitrogen gas (red molecules) and, along propagation, experiences a spectral…
New research from Chalmers and ETH Zürich, Switzerland, suggests a promising way to detect elusive dark matter particles through previously unexplored atomic responses occurring in…
Quantum mechanics allows for a clock to move as if it were simultaneously traveling at two different speeds. New research finds that this leads to…

Scientists have re-investigated a sixty-year-old idea by the American physicist P.W. Anderson and provided new insights into the quantum world. Quantum physics explains how the…
A recent study from the University of Melbourne proposes a new theory for the origin of dark matter, helping experimentalists in Australia and abroad in…

An international team of scientists has managed for the first time to observe the ‘nutation’ of spins in magnetic materials (the oscillations of their axis…
The photon (yellow, coming from the left) produces electron waves out of the electron cloud (grey) of the hydrogen molecule (red: nucleus), which interfere with…
