Electron movement and structures described in quantum physics allow researchers to better understand how and why materials like superconductors behave as they do. Rice University researchers Jianwei ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Spintronics—a technology that harnesses the electron's magnetic quantum states to carry information—could pave the way for a new generation of ultra-energy-efficient electronics. Yet a major challenge ...

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

Stephen Hawking once argued that perfection does not exist in the universe. Surprisingly, he said our very existence depends ...

Chimpanzees consistently choose crystals over ordinary rocks, suggesting a curiosity that may echo early humans.

Cern researchers are testing traps capable of moving antimatter, which explodes into energy as soon as it comes into contact with regular matter ...

Chimpanzee experiments suggest early humans were likely fascinated by crystals because of their unique transparency and geometric shapes.

Interior designers reveal how they use mathematics to bring harmony to a space.

Researchers at Politecnico di Milano and CNR-IFN have demonstrated all-optical logic operations in a tungsten disulfide (WS₂) monolayer at rates as high as 10 terahertz, according to a study published ...
