Physicists have uncovered the fascinating world of “rotating crystals” — solids made of spinning particles that behave in ...

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a ...

In 1867, Lord Kelvin imagined atoms as knots in the aether. The idea was soon disproven. Atoms turned out to be something ...

Dark matter, mysterious invisible stuff that makes up most of the mass of galaxies including our own Milky Way, is confounding scientists again, with new observations of distant galaxies conflicting ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...

Scientists have discovered rotating crystals with odd elasticity that twist, fragment, and self-reassemble, revealing new ...

Breakthrough from Princeton team reveals exotic quantum state that coherently blends many-body correlation and quantum ...

Fungi are best known for returning dead, organic matter to the Earth, but materials scientists are exploring whether they ...

During the war, Ukrainian scientists created crystals for CERN in the basement of a Kharkiv institute. This is the first ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ...

Hands-on, minds-on learning experiences help ensure that students gain a deep understanding of science concepts.

A research team led by Rice University physicist Frank Geurts has successfully measured the temperature of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at various stages of its evolution, providing critical insights into ...
