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…
A NASA image of plasma bursting from the sun. Plasma—a hot soup of atoms with free-moving electrons and ions—is the most abundant form of matter…

Researchers have developed a new interferometric technique capable of measuring time delays with zeptosecond (a trillionth of a billionth of a second) resolution. How fast…
Lightning is a natural phenomenon that occurs during thunderstorms when the discharge of electricity in the atmosphere causes a bright flash of light. It is…
Researchers at the University of Tsukuba use an optoelectronic resonator to increase the sensitivity of an electron pulse detector, which may lead to ultrafast electronic…
The new work extends models from nuclear physics. A new model for matter in neutron star collisions. After a massive star burns its fuel and…
When two particles are entangled, the state of one is tied to the state of the other. Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in which the…
