Using the focal-plane spectrometer of the gas-filled recoil separator at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä in Finland, physicists...

The unusual radio pulses were detected by the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment, a range of instruments flown on NASA balloons high...

A team of physicists at the University of Oxford has achieved the lowest-ever error rate for a quantum logic operation — just 0.000015%, or one error...

Physicists have achieved the first-ever real-time, 3D simulations of how intense laser beams alter the quantum vacuum — a state once assumed to be...

New research by physicists from the University of Oxford, Johns Hopkins University and the Institute of Astrophysics in Paris shows that collisions between...

Physicists from the Muon g-2 experiment have released their third measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly. The final result agrees with their published...

In a 2023 paper, Professor Heino Falcke and his colleagues at Radboud University showed that not only black holes, but also all other objects in the Universe...

Near-miss collisions between high-energy lead nuclei at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider generate intense electromagnetic fields that can knock out protons...

The new theory, developed by physicists at Aalto University, describes gravity in a way that’s compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics,...

In exploring how crystals form, researchers at New York University came across an unusual, rod-shaped crystal that hadn’t been identified before. Zangenite....

University of Portsmouth physicist Melvin Vopson proposes a new way to think about gravity — not just as a pull, but as something that happens when...

High-energy photons produced deep in gamma-ray burst jets emerging from a collapsed star could dissolve the outer stellar layers into free neutrons, causing...

In general relativity, a gravitational white hole is a hypothetical region of space that cannot be entered from outside. It is the reverse of a black hole...

The structure of optical rotatum follows a logarithmic spiral — a signature that is commonly seen in the pattern formation of seashells and galaxies,...

Physicists at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology say they have observed a new form of quantum entanglement in the total angular momentum...

Physicists with the KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment report the most precise measurement of the upper mass limit of the neutrino to date,...

Using Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s 88-Inch Cyclotron, an international team of physicists has successfully made two atoms of livermorium (atomic...

The quantum superposition principle allows us to prepare a system in a superposition of two arbitrary states. The paradigmatic example is the superposition...

The newly-discovered shape-recovering liquids defy long-held expectations derived from the laws of thermodynamics, according to a team of physicists at...
