The sensitizer molecules (green) absorb low energy photons (long-wavelength light) and become excited into triplet states. These triplet states are then transferred to nearby annihilator…
New study shows the boundary between time moving forward and backward may blur in quantum mechanics. A team of physicists at the Universities of Bristol,…
Physicists have created a new ultra-thin two-layer material with quantum properties that normally require rare earth compounds. Credit: Heikka Valja By combining two-dimensional materials, researchers…
Neutrinos interacting with nuclei. Credit: DOE’s Jefferson Lab Early-career nuclear physicists show that a better understanding of how neutrinos interact with matter is needed to…
Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science and collaborators have shown that they can manipulate single skyrmions—tiny magnetic vortices that could be used…

New theory ‘detects’ light in the darkness of a vacuum. Black holes are regions of space-time with huge amounts of gravity. Scientists originally thought that…
An illustration depicts an unexpectedly strong attraction between electrons in neighboring lattice sites within a 1D chain of copper oxide, or cuprate – a material…
A new study confirms that as atoms are chilled and squeezed to extremes, their ability to scatter light is suppressed. Credit: Christine Daniloff, MIT How…
