A puzzling form of superconductivity that arises only under strong magnetic fields has been mapped and explained by a research team including Andriy Nevidomskyy, professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University. Their ...
Neutrinos are fundamental particles characterized by no electric charge and very small masses, which are known to interact with other matter via the weak force or gravity. While these particles have been the focus of numerous ...
Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I swapped the roles of ...
Dark matter (DM) is a type of matter estimated to account for 80% of the universe's total mass, but it cannot be directly detected using conventional experimental techniques. As DM does not emit, reflect or absorb light, ...
UC Riverside researchers have unveiled a powerful new imaging technique that exposes how cutting-edge materials used in solar panels and light sensors convert light into electricity—offering a path to better, faster, and ...
The theory of quantum mechanics has transformed daily life since being proposed a century ago, yet how it works remains a mystery—and physicists are deeply divided about what is actually going on, a survey in the journal ...
Chemical research is often a process of trial and error. Things often don't go as expected in the laboratory: reactions stall or produce too little product. Knowledge of the chemical properties of the substances involved ...
Quantum computers, devices that can perform computations relying on the principles of quantum mechanics, are expected to outperform classical computers on some types of optimization and processing tasks. While physicists ...
Â鶹ÒùÔºicists at Osnabrück University have examined individual water molecules on the calcite surface in more detail. Their findings, published in the journal ACS Nano, are relevant for climate and environmental protection.
Quantum field theory (QFT) is a physics framework that describes how particles and forces behave based on principles rooted in quantum mechanics and Albert Einstein's special relativity theory. This framework predicts the ...
