With the terahertz scope, the team observed a frictionless “superfluid” of superconducting electrons that were collectively ...

Watching proteins move as they drive the chemical reactions that sustain life is one of the grand challenges of modern ...

Physicists have finally watched positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, behave like a rippling quantum wave instead of a tiny billiard ball. In a set of ...

It may sound like an oxymoron, but this massive nanoparticle made up of 7,000 sodium atoms is the largest to exhibit such ...

Electronics waste energy when handling light and electricity. A new material helps reduce this loss and improve system ...

Watching proteins move as they drive the chemical reactions that sustain life is one of the grand challenges of modern biology.In recent years, X-ray ...

A research team at the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) has unveiled a physical encryption platform that could potentially change the security architecture of optical ...

Auroras, shimmering bands of light that shoot through the night sky near the Earth’s poles, can follow patterns known as arcs ...

By squeezing terahertz light beyond its usual limits, researchers have exposed hidden quantum "jiggles" inside a ...

Neutrinos are very small, neutral subatomic particles that rarely interact with ordinary matter and are thus sometimes ...

Researchers have built a paper-thin chip that converts infrared light into visible light and directs it precisely, all without mechanical motion. The design overcomes a long-standing efficiency-versus ...
