Physicists have long known that electrons can form vortices in quantum materials. What’s new is the proof that these tiny particles create tornado-like...

Ultrahigh energy cosmic rays are the highest-energy particles in the Universe, whose energies are more than a million times what can be achieved by humans. Professor...

Physicists with the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have announced the first observation of VVZ production — a rare combination...

University of Adelaide’s Dr. Ross Young and colleagues from the QCDSF Collaboration are exploring the structure of subatomic matter to try and provide...

Physicists from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of Hamburg have observed how electrons, excited by ultrafast light pulses, danced...

Dubbed KM3-230213A, the newly-detected neutrino carried an astonishing energy of 220 peta-electronvolts (PeV), making it one of the most powerful elementary...

Physicists with the CMS Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have tested whether top quarks adhere to Albert Einstein’s special theory of...

The newly-developed all-optical nanosensors are luminescent nanocrystals that can change intensity and/or color when you push or pull on them; they are...

Physicists at MIT have directly stimulated atoms in an antiferromagnetic material using a terahertz laser, a light source that oscillates more than a trillion...

Northwestern University researchers have successfully achieved quantum state transfer over a 30.2-km fiber carrying 400-Gbps C-band classical traffic....

Bright, twisted light can be produced thanks to nanostructured filaments with twisted geometry, according to scientists at the University of Michigan. Planck’s...

Dark energy — an unknown energy source that is causing our Universe’s expansion to accelerate – doesn’t actually exist, according to new research. This...

The Standard Model of particle physics predicts an asymmetry between matter and antimatter known as charge-parity (CP) violation. But the size of this...

Using data from high-energy proton-proton collisions in Run 2 of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), physicists with the CMS Collaboration have released...

Physicists with the ALICE Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have seen the first ever evidence of antihyperhelium-4, which is composed...

Altermagnetism is a distinct form of magnetic order where the tiny constituent magnetic building blocks align antiparallel to their neighbors, but the...

A team of researchers at Cornell University has created a new class of magnetically controlled microscopic robots (microbots) that operate at the visible-light...

Physicists have found a new way to use data from high-energy particle smashups to peer inside protons. Their approach uses quantum information science...

Primordial black holes have been theorized for decades and could even be ever-elusive dark matter. Still, no primordial black hole has ever been observed....
