Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Sometimes to truly study something up close, you have to take a step back. That's what Andrea Donnellan does. An expert in ...

Archaeologists in Poland uncovered two massive tombs hidden within megalithic structures often referred to as “Polish pyramids,” dating back roughly 5,500 years. Built by the Funnelbeaker culture, ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Scientists described the moment as a rare “wow” discovery as the system lacks disc of material normally needed to drive such ...

Conduction is the direct flow of heat from your warm body into your colder surroundings. In winter, all that heat escaping your body makes you feel cold. Insulation fights conduction by trapping air ...

On October 8, 2024, the field of physics was plunged into controversy. That day, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for discoveries not involving black holes, cosmology, or strange new subatomic ...

Deep underground in southern China, there is a 20,000-ton tank of liquid that can detect neutrinos. Named JUNO, the detector's first results are in — and they're very promising. When you purchase ...
