A theoretical framework predicts the emergence of non-reciprocal interactions that effectively violate Newton's third law in solids using light, report researchers from Japan. They demonstrate that by irradiating light of ...
Far from Earth, in the vast expanses of space between stars, exists a treasure trove of carbon. There, in what scientists call the "interstellar medium," you can find a wide range of organic molecules鈥攆rom honeycomblike ...
Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are fascinating states of matter that emerge when atoms or molecules are cooled to extremely low temperatures just slightly above absolute zero (0 K). In 2023, physicists at Columbia University ...
Researchers have for the first time created a reconfigurable polariton 2D quasicrystal. The team from the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech), in collaboration with colleagues from the University of Iceland, ...
Once considered a fringe idea, the prospect of offsetting global warming by releasing massive quantities of sunlight-reflecting particles into Earth's atmosphere is now a matter of serious scientific consideration. Hundreds ...
The simulation of strongly interacting many-body systems is a key objective of quantum physics research, as it can help to test the predictions of physics theories and yield new valuable insight. Researchers at Quantinuum, ...
The nature of dark matter remains one of the greatest mysteries in cosmology. Within the standard framework of non-collisional cold dark matter (CDM), various models are considered: WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, ...
The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics honors three quantum physicists鈥擩ohn Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis鈥攆or their study of quantum mechanics in a macroscopic electrical circuit.
Superconductors (materials that conduct electricity without resistance) have fascinated physicists for more than a century. While conventional superconductors are well understood, a new class of materials known as topological ...
It rains on the sun, and thanks to researchers at the University of Hawai驶i Institute for Astronomy (IfA), we finally know why. Unlike water that falls from the sky on Earth, solar rain happens in the sun's corona, a region ...
