Scientists know little about turbulence, such as that formed from water gushing out of a pipe at high velocity. Scientists gain a deeper understanding of…
Two photons are entangled, one in polarization and the other in orbital angular momentum — twisted light. By passing the polarization photon through the fiber…

A close-up view of the weight-bearing kirigami structures created by Xinyu Wang while working in Randall Kamien’s lab. Each raised triangle platform is supported by…
Research shows why fireflies blink in unison even though each individual insect is different. Credit: Toan Phan Northwestern University researchers have added a new dimension…
Former Rice University graduate student Xinwei Li in 2016 with the terahertz spectrometer he later used to measure entanglement in the conduction electrons flowing through…
A 50-year-old puzzle in statistical mechanics has been solved by an international team of researchers who have proved that two-dimensional (2D) liquids have fundamentally different…
Let there be light — and it was directional: The world’s first electrically powered Yagi-Uda antenna was built at the University of Würzburg’s Department of…
Chaos Leads Scientists to New Understanding of Centuries’-Old Quandary It’s been nearly 350 years since Sir Isaac Newton outlined the laws of motion, claiming “For…
A pair of civil servants solve a quantum mechanics problem that had bothered them since they were students. As students, Jussi Lindgren and Jukka Liukkonen…

A 2017 report of the discovery of a particular kind of Majorana fermion — the chiral Majorana fermion, referred to as the “angel particle” —…
The scheme of the experiment — circular polarization of light (marked in red and blue) transmitted through a cavity filled with liquid crystal depending on…
This is an illustration of how electrons can be imagined to move between two arms of a metallic nanoantenna, driven by a single-cycle light wave.…
A major issue with operating ring-shaped fusion facilities known as tokamaks is keeping the plasma that fuels fusion reactions free of impurities that could reduce…
