Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

An atmospheric scientist at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, has ...

CERN, a center for physics research outside Geneva, Switzerland, is best known for discovering some of the building blocks of our universe. But scientists there are also studying new ways to treat ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

Current theories suggest that W and Z bosons acquire mass from interactions with the Higgs scalar field, but a new study suggests that the higher dimensional structure of spacetime could be the actual ...

It sounds like something from the plot of Interstellar, but this plan to beam precious data back to Earth—before it’s lost ...

Almost exactly 200 years ago, French physicist Sadi Carnot determined the maximum efficiency of heat engines. The Carnot principle, the second law of thermodynamics, was developed for large, ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...
