Research is actively underway to develop a "dream memory" that can reduce heat generation in smartphones and laptops while ...

For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by ...

Chemists created a strange 'half-Mӧbius' molecule, where electrons twist freely out of place to make a continuously looping ...

Our planet’s surface evolves continuously by a complex interplay of climate, biological processes, and tectonic activity. Rapid population growth and climate change are modifying our landscapes, ...

In a first that could change how scientists study the building blocks of life, ETH Zurich researchers have shown that molecular ‘handedness’ is not just structural but also electronic. By using ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only ...

The proposed iridium-based compound can effectively store “electrons” from hydrogen and hold them in solid state at room temperature for months. These stored electrons can then be released to catalyze ...

(Nanowerk News) Particle accelerators are crucial tools in a wide variety of areas in industry, research and the medical sector. The space these machines require ranges from a few square meters to ...

The new work is an effort to make sense of a discovery that was reported earlier this year by a different group of physicists at MIT, led by Assistant Professor Long Ju (Nature, "Fractional quantum ...

One day, powerful particle accelerators might fit in your pocket. Two teams of physicists have built tiny structures that both accelerate electrons and keep them confined in a manageable beam, instead ...
