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 ...

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

In physics, the mesoscale lies between the microscopic and the macroscopic. It is not just the domain of tiny living ...

An international team combining two major neutrino experiments has uncovered stronger evidence that neutrinos and antimatter don’t behave as perfect mirror images. That subtle difference may hold the ...

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’ fascination with crystals could explain why early humans collected shiny stones with no obvious use, scientists ...

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number ...

A mysterious striped signal from the Crab Pulsar may finally be explained by a delicate balance between plasma effects and ...

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

Scientists in Spain investigated which characteristics of crystals may have made them so fascinating to our ancestors.
