Nuclear physicists have discovered a revolutionary way to use the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory to…
For the first time ever, physicists have observed energy being transferred from resonant electrons to whistler-mode waves in space. This offers confirmation of the non-linear…
New data show that local fluctuations in the nuclear strong force may influence the spin orientation of particles called phi mesons (made of two quarks…
A light source (left) sends a beam of light through a special material, which changes the direction of polarization — by an angle that is…
Rogue waves are abnormally large, unpredictable, and suddenly appearing surface waves that can be incredibly dangerous to even large ships. Extreme waves can be generated…
