A researcher at the Department of Physics at Tohoku University has uncovered a surprising quantum phenomenon hidden inside ...

Listening to the "whispers" of electrons and crystals has lead to a quantum discovery with terahertz light that could help us ...

Currently, there are 100 trillion neutrinos flowing through you. Don’t worry though; they hardly interact with matter. In ...

Moiré atoms and Wigner molecule (a) Schematic of moiré superlattice and (b) corresponding moiré potential at ϕ = 10°. Its minima, moiré atoms, form a triangular lattice. (c) Evolution of each of the ...

Superconductivity occurs when electrons in a metal pair up and move through the material without resistance. But there may be more to the story than we thought, as scientists in Germany have now ...

Neutrinos are low-mass subatomic particles with zero electric charge that interact with matter only via the weak nuclear force and gravity. This makes neutrinos difficult to detect, despite the fact ...

Researchers developed a new, symmetry-consistent way to describe CP-violating neutral triple gauge couplings, correcting ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. Most of the coverage of this adopts the framing of talking about this ...

Six pack: supernova 2018zd is marked with a small white circle on the outskirts of galaxy NGC2146 and meets the six criteria for being a new, third type of supernova predicted 40 years ago. This ...

Many elementary particles splinter into shards, but not the electron. At least scientists hadn’t thought so. According to new theoretical research, however, there are extreme conditions under which ...
