I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single ...

The atypical structure of the radium monofluoride molecule allows physicists to search for answers to some of the universe’s ...

The optical properties of a thin layer of the semiconductor germanium-tin (GeSn) sandwiched between barriers of ...

Laser light can physically distort Janus TMD materials, revealing how their asymmetrical structure amplifies light-driven ...

Astronomers are uncovering new ways to study the universe’s first stars, objects too distant and faint to observe directly, by examining the ancient 21-centimeter radio signal left behind by hydrogen ...

Researchers create cobalt single-atom catalysts in porous carbon nanofibers to speed redox reactions and stop polysulfide loss, improving lithium sulfur battery performance.

A couple of weeks back I posted an answer to a question from a Twitter follower’s child, who asked “How Strong Is Space?” That was fun, so here’s another kid-question answered, this one from my own ...

Physics is often about recognizing patterns, sometimes repeated across vastly different scales. For instance, moons orbit planets in the same way planets orbit stars, which in turn orbit the center of ...

Something strange goes on inside the material platinum-bismuth-two (PtBi₂). A new study by researchers at IFW Dresden and the ...

Are neutrons really neutral? Are neutral atoms really neutral? These two questions are actually quite critical for coming to grips with possible extensions to the standard model of physics. If I were ...
