Super-cooling radioactive atoms could produce a laser-like neutrino beam, according to a duo of physicists from MIT and the University of Texas at Arlington....
The first generation of stars (Population III) must have formed from the unenriched gas that permeated the infant Universe. These stars produced the first...
In exploring how crystals form, researchers at New York University came across an unusual, rod-shaped crystal that hadn’t been identified before.
Zangenite....
Using Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s 88-Inch Cyclotron, an international team of physicists has successfully made two atoms of livermorium (atomic...
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...
Top-quark pair production has been observed in lead-lead collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with the ATLAS detector, marking the first...
Quantum electrodynamics (QED) atoms are composed of unstructured and point-like lepton pairs bound together by the electromagnetic force.
An artist’s...
Despite its Earth-like size and source material, Venus is extremely dry, indicating near-total water loss to space. Using computer simulations, planetary...
Neutrons are subatomic particles that have no electric charge, unlike protons and electrons. That means that while the electromagnetic force is responsible...
The new method, developed by a team of physicists from the University of Bonn and the University of Bristol, makes it possible to precisely determine the...
Using advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods, physicists at the University of Nottingham have successfully trapped atoms of krypton inside...
Physicists have, for the first time, directly imaged small clusters of noble gas atoms at room temperature. This achievement opens up exciting possibilities...
The carbon atom provides the backbone for the complex organic chemistry composing the building blocks of life. The physics of the carbon nucleus in its...
A team of physicists at the Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität Kaiserslautern-Landau has produced pure trilobite molecules in rubidium over...
The atmospheric nightglow is observed on Earth. On Mars, it was something expected, yet never observed in visible light until now.
This image shows an...
Atomic oxygen is produced on the dayside of Venus by photolysis of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
Atomic oxygen is a key species in the mesosphere...
In a new paper, astrophysicists from Australian National University present an overview of the thermal history of our Universe and the sequence of objects...
