Recent physics studies have found that light can sometimes flow in unexpected ways, behaving like a so-called "superfluid." Superfluids, such as ultracold atomic gases or helium-4 below specific ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw and the University of British Columbia have described how ...

Supermassive black holes are one of the universe’s greatest mysteries, however scientists continue to chip away at their ...

Researchers have discovered a simple yet powerful way to protect atoms from losing information—a key challenge in developing reliable quantum ...

Twisted materials—known as moiré structures—have revolutionized modern physics, emerging as today's "alchemy" by creating ...

Electric charge is no longer required to carry information as scientists find a practical way to use spintronics in graphene.

In a breakthrough that could transform the understanding of quantum magnetism, scientists have shown that a spinon, which was ...

Particles orbiting a black hole could collide at colossal energies, generating collision products that may offer valuable insights for particle physics ...

And like so many fundamental facts in physics, spin was found to be technologically useful as well. In the second half of the 20th century, spin was harnessed to develop lasers, ...

By borrowing from the physics of spin glasses, later researchers working on AI could “use all these tools that have been developed for the physics of these old systems.” In 2024, Hopfield and his ...

New face of quantum Having recently established her own research group, physicist Hannah Stern is ready to get to work developing new materials for quantum technologies. (Courtesy: Andy ...
