A new federally funded study by researchers at Duke University and the University of Pennsylvania offers an unprecedented ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that self-assembled phosphorus chains can host genuinely one-dimensional electron ...

Over the past few decades, electronics engineers have been trying to develop new neuromorphic hardware, systems that mirror the organization of neurons in the human brain. These systems could run ...

European scientists discover a new state of quantum matter in CeRu4Sn6 that challenges physics and changes our view of the universe.

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists have trapped a single plutonium atom inside a tiny molecular cage, using only six micrograms of the radioactive metal. The work turns an element ...

The Signal Path] shows us how to recreate a classic science experiment to measure the weight of an electron. Things are ...

At Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has powered down for the last time, ending operations at the only particle collider still running in the United ...

We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...

For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based ...

Whether a smartphone battery lasts longer or a new drug can be developed to treat incurable diseases depends on how stably ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...
