Scientists are using trapped ions in experiments to search for signs of a new particle that could help explain the mysterious ...

Clocks might be far more fundamental to physics than we ever realized. A new theory suggests what we see around us – from the ...

Experts believe the universe may have a built-in 'self-destruct button' called false vacuum decay which could destroy the ...

We have calculated the levitation force and the interaction energy between a thin monolayer of super-paramagnetic fine ferromagnetic particles system and a large flat superconductor in the Meissner ...

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection ...

At its core, quantum mechanics explores the hidden energies and patterns that compose and animate our universe. It reveals ...

An atom consists of a heavy center, called the nucleus, made of particles called protons and neutrons. An atom has lighter ...

Landauer's principle is a thermodynamics concept also relevant in information theory, which states that erasing one bit of ...

But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the ...

Researchers at Tampere University and their collaborators from Germany and India have experimentally confirmed that angular ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general ...
