Scientists just created exotic new forms of matter that shouldn’t exist
Quantum technology is widely expected to transform how large and complex data sets are processed. Although it is…
New shield material thinner than a strand of hair, but blocks both cosmic electromagnetic waves and radiation
A 3D-printed, ultra-thin, lightweight, high-performance shielding material comprised of two nanotubes has proven effective as a shield against…
New Algorithm Solves “Impossible” Materials in Seconds
A new computational method reveals a faster way to explore intricate quantum systems, pointing toward emerging applications in…
Oxford team achieves advanced quantum squeezing with trapped ion
For the first time in quantum physics, Oxford researchers have demonstrated quadsqueezing, a complex fourth-order quantum interaction. The…
Extreme gravity leaves lasting marks on movement and energy use
Gravity feels constant, almost invisible. It holds oceans in place and keeps us grounded, so we rarely question…
This penguin-inspired film can heat, cool and block signals on demand
A white roof cools, a black surface heats. Engineers have treated these as fixed, opposite solutions to managing…
Magnon Research Advance could Pave the Way for Mini Quantum Computers
Insider Brief University of Vienna-led researchers extended magnon lifetimes to 18 microseconds—about 100 times longer than previous limits—significantly…
Supermassive black holes launch the most powerful cosmic jets
Across the recesses of space, collimated jets frequently emerge. While distant host galaxies for quasars and active galactic…
Solar bursts offer fresh evidence of magnetic turbulence near the Sun
Solar radio bursts are closely tied to how their sources move through the sun’s outer atmosphere and the…
Physicists just found a tiny flaw in time itself
Quantum mechanics is famous for its strange and often counterintuitive ideas. At very small scales, particles do not…
Hidden rules found in Einstein’s spacetime that shape cosmic evolution
Spacetime isn’t supposed to be predictable, but scientists may have just found the rules it cannot break. In…
Decades-long physics mystery may have been an illusion all along
A long-suspected crack in particle physics was a calculation problem, not a broken law of nature, according to…
