The earliest acoustic vibrations in the cosmos weren’t exactly sound – they travelled at half the speed of light and there ...

One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected breakdown of nuclear order in a remarkably symmetric atom, challenging long-standing ...

Physicists are now using a tightly controlled laser and a cloud of ultracold atoms to imitate the behavior of electrons in solids, effectively building a quantum version of electronics out of light ...

The research was published in the journal Science ("Observation of Shapiro steps in an ultracold atomic Josephson junction"). Two superconductors separated by a wafer-thin insulating layer – that's ...

The true nature of our universe as been an open debate for millennia, and recently, scientists and philosophers have pondered whether it might be a hyper-realistic simulation perpetuated by some super ...

Most of an atom is empty space, so why does some matter feel solid? Two physics principles explain why. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

A pioneering team at the University of Maryland has captured the first-ever images of atomic thermal vibrations, unlocking an unseen world of motion within two-dimensional materials. Their innovative ...

[ProjectsInFlight] has been on a mission to make his own semiconductors for about a year now, and recently shared a major step toward that goal: homemade spin-on dopants. Doping semiconductors has ...

Until now, atoms have never been imaged interacting freely in space, but a new technique known as non-resolved microscopy has changed that. MIT physicists were able to successfully capture images of ...

If you can’t pull it off in the real world then why not try out these simulation games? Here are some of games we’re anticipating to play throughout 2025. Sports games in and of themselves are ...
