An artist’s impression of gravitational waves generated by binary neutron stars. Credit: R. Hurt/Caltech-JPL A new technology that can improve gravitational-wave detectors, one of the…
This artistic rendering shows the nanoscale spin spirals that enable the emergence of a multiferroic state in 2D material NiI2. Credit: Ella Maru Studio Discovery…
Radio-Frequency Pulse Enables Association of Triatomic Molecules in Ultracold 23Na40K + 40K Gas Three-body system is already formidable in classical physics, not to mention the quantum state…
In a simulation of the early universe, shortly after the Big Bang, tornado-like strings (dark blue loop) throw off axion particles. These axions should still…
Scientists identify a long-sought magnetic state predicted nearly 60 years ago. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered a long-predicted…

University of Wisconsin–Madison physicists have made one of the highest performance atomic clocks ever. Their instrument, known as an optical lattice atomic clock, can…
Scientists have achieved a remarkable breakthrough in the conceptual design of twisty stellarators, experimental magnetic facilities that could reproduce on Earth the fusion energy that…
Time crystals that persist indefinitely at room temperature could have applications in precision timekeeping. We have all seen crystals, whether a simple grain of salt…

JILA physicists have measured Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity, or more specifically, the effect called time dilation, at the smallest scale ever, showing that…
To study superconducting materials in their “normal,” non-superconducting state, scientists usually switch off superconductivity by exposing the material to a magnetic field, left. SLAC scientists…
One of the major issues in general relativity that separates it from other descriptions of the universe, like quantum physics, is the existence of singularities.…
First experimental realization of energetic ions driven by intense laser irradiating the world’s thinnest and strongest target. Laser-driven ion acceleration has been studied to develop…
(Left image) Microwave photons that create an interaction between pairs of qubits (black dots on the edge) in a hyperbolic space are most likely to…
Theories were introduced as far back as the 1960s about the possible existence of superheavy elements. Their most long-lived nuclei could give rise to a…
Bobsled, luge and skeleton athletes descend twisting, steep tracks at speeds upward of 80 mph (130 kmh). Speed alone may be the factor that draws…
Dude, what if everything around us was just … a hologram? The thing is, it could be—and a University of Michigan physicist is using quantum…
Neutrinos Are Lighter Than 0.8 Electronvolts New world record: KATRIN experiment limits neutrino mass with unprecedented precision. Neutrinos are arguably the most fascinating elementary particle…
